An aid to getting maximum diagnostic value from ultrasonographic scans, each section of this book focuses on a single organ system. Within sections diagnostic possibilities are provided for conditions appearing on scans of adults, paediatric, and obstetric patients. For each scan the reader will find a list of potential diagnoses for common and rarely encountered conditions. The user of this quick-reference text will find that it offers special help in situations where scan findings are confusing or unusual, by presenting the full gamut of possible diagnoses - including those frequently overlooked. Special features of this book include: brief comments are provided in most sections to help readers distinguish between similar entities or as a means of reducing the number of possible diagnoses; and sonographic terminology is used consistently to describe the appearance of entities.
