Optimized Cross-Sectional Atlas for Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

This comprehensive cross-sectional atlas is designed to provide a roadmap of normal sonographic anatomy for the musculoskeletal system. It includes optimized images that emphasize spatial relationships and three-dimensional orientation, helping novices acquire pattern recognition skills and resolve images into their anatomic components by pairing ultrasound scans with cross-sectional drawings.

The book is divided into sections, each focusing on a different region of the body such as the upper extremity, lower extremity, and cervical regions. Each section presents a visual baseline for evaluating tendon, muscle, ligament, and nerve problems, enhancing familiarity with musculoskeletal anatomy as it appears on ultrasound imaging for practitioners at any level.

Multiple high-resolution views of each structure are accompanied by original illustrations that document the structures in the sonograph and serve as a reference to decipher the image and foster understanding of anatomic relationships and ultrasound appearances. This atlas is an indispensable tool for clinicians learning diagnostic ultrasound, as they can use the anatomical images for comparisons with their own scans.

For the seasoned practitioner, the organized format with high-resolution examples makes this an essential reference for confirming exam findings. Key features include:

• Orients users to anatomical relationships best seen in cross section and necessary to effective utilization of diagnostic ultrasound
• Over 150 ultrasound images cover musculoskeletal anatomy from the shoulder to the foot
• Each ultrasound image has a correlative drawing in cross-sectional or regional format with the scanned area depicted within a highlighted frame to enhance understanding of the scanned anatomy
• Each image is accompanied by a body icon illustrating the level of the scan for each region
• Brief text points and legends emphasize key features and landmarks and offer technical tips for obtaining and interpreting scans
