Ultrasound Anatomy, 2nd Edition, offers practical, comprehensive coverage of the ultrasound images and important structures that are most frequently encountered in daily practice and during point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). This approachable text integrates concise text, detailed ultrasound images with corresponding cadaver photographs, full-color anatomical and technique illustrations, and videos to provide a solid foundation in regional ultrasound anatomy.
The enhanced 2nd Edition features reorganized content for improved learning, with chapter Q&As now conveniently placed at the end of each section. More than 30 new figures, additional pathologies, and new content on central venous catheterization and joint aspiration make this an indispensable resource for today's ultrasound practitioners.
- NEW! Content on central venous catheterization and joint aspiration broaden students’ mastery of clinical sonography practices.
- UPDATED! Photos, illustrations, and ultrasound images clarify patient positioning, probe positioning, and surface anatomy in vibrant detail.
- Clinical Applications provide a clinical context for the types of structures and cases students will encounter on rotations.
- Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) exam chapter familiarizes students with the protocols used by surgeons, emergency physicians, and some paramedics to screen for certain conditions after trauma.
- Ultrasound videos and USMLE-style review questions available online reinforce critical content and strengthen test-taking confidence.
