Description:
This thoroughly updated and expanded second edition continues
to be the singular reference for comprehensive clinical instruction in the use
of high-frequency ultrasound for assessing peripheral nerves and their
disorders, particularly focal neuropathies. Revised to integrate current
advances in the field, new applications, and next-generation equipment, this
top of the line text uses a “how-to” approach to describe clinical evaluation,
inclusive of both normal and pathological findings with discussions of relevant
non-neurologic tissue.
The book begins with a review in ultrasound physics,
instrumentation, image optimization, and anatomy before presenting a highly
visual tour through multiple nerves of the neck, shoulder, and upper and lower
limbs with new chapters on the evaluation of muscle and ultrasound guided
principles. Anatomical chapters have been substantially updated to feature
additional nerves and advanced concepts with updated drawings and unprecedented
visualization of smaller nerve segments captured by cutting-edge equipment.
Chapters include clinical cases unique to this edition that demonstrate the use
of ultrasound in conjunction with clinical and electrophysiologic assessment to
optimize diagnosis. In-text video callouts directly connect chapter content to
over 430 detailed video examinations accessible online to better facilitate
understanding of the ultrasound image.
The definitive reference on peripheral nerve ultrasound and
focal neuropathies, this practical text and atlas is the prime resource for
neurologists, physiatrists, radiologists, sports medicine physicians, and other
providers seeking to combine ultrasound with electrodiagnosis for entrapments
of the upper and lower limbs.
Key Features:
- Utilizes a “how-to” skills approach for imaging peripheral
nerves with ultrasound and understanding anatomic, clinical, electrodiagnostic,
and imaging considerations for focal neuropathies
- Thoroughly revised and updated Second Edition
- New chapters on imaging muscle and ultrasound-guided
procedure
- Introduces ultra-high frequency imaging with many new
sections covering less commonly scanned and smaller nerves
- Incorporates brand new clinical cases throughout to survey an
array of disorders and conditions including an extended series on foot drop
- Includes hundreds of detailed anatomical drawings and
state-of-the-art images
