Diagnostic ultrasound : a logical approach

This is a reference to applications of ultrasound. It covers ultrasound of all anatomic regions, as well as obstetric, gynaecologic, and paediatric ultrasound, Doppler, endoscopic ultrasound, ultrasound-guided invasive procedures, intra-operative ultrasound, three-dimensional ultrasound, and newer adaptations of ultrasound. Boxed tables throughout present possible diagnoses and lists of differential diagnostic points, and flow diagrams demonstrate key steps in the diagnostic decision-making process.

Endoluminal Ultrasound: Vascular and Nonvascular.

Summary This article is designed to introduce the reader to the potential uses of miniature transducer-containing catheters in a wide variety of areas throughout the body, both vascular and nonvascular. We further predict that these miniature transducer-containing catheters will become an important new addition to our diagnostic capabilities in ultrasound.
