A practical text, aimed at the diagnostic radiologist and ultrasonographer, which describes and evaluates the applications of high frequency imaging in clinical diagnosis. The imaging of superficial organs, such as salivary glands and genitalia is a distinct subspecialty within radiology which has been revolutionised by the development of portable high-frequency probes. As a result, fewer and more constructive surgical and therapeutic interventions have been necessary. The book covers the purely technical aspects of high-frequency imaging in an introductory chapter. Subsequent chapters discuss the ultrasound appearances of normal anatomy and pathology in those organs where the benefits of high-frequency, as opposed to routine imaging, have been proven. Descriptions of ultrasound have been supplemented throughout by coverage of colour Doppler and interventional ultrasound.
