Ultrasound for Surgeons

Edited by two preeminent leaders in the use of ultrasound in surgical practice, this volume is a state-of-the-art guide to preoperative and intraoperative applications of ultrasound. The book familiarizes surgeons with current equipment, scanning techniques, and interventional instrumentation and provides detailed instruction on diagnostic and interventional ultrasound for specific surgical diseases in each anatomic region. A major portion of the book focuses on intraoperative, laparoscopic, and endoscopic ultrasound in abdominal organs. Coverage also includes ultrasound in trauma and acute care settings. Hundreds of ultrasound images complement the text. Line drawings are used to clarify the images where necessary.
