Packing essential abdominal imaging protocols in a compact format, this handy reference makes it easy to access the most up-to-date protocols, organ-specific measurements, and echogenicities for abdominal sonography. Organized logically by the organs of the abdomen, this succinct, image-based quick-reference presents imaging and line drawings side-by-side to help you make confident, accurate observations.
Up-to-date protocol guidelines reflect the most current clinical approaches and relevant research.
Organ-based organization provides fast access to patient preparation and suggested transducer, scanning tips, laboratory values tables, sonography anatomy, common pathology and references in each section.
Concise, pocket-sized presentation puts essential information at your fingertips from the sonography lab to the point of imaging.
Side-by-side imaging and line drawings reinforce your understanding and ensure the most accurate imaging observations.
“Cine” loop short video clips clarify normal anatomy in vibrant detail.
