Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound by P K Srivastava

Rapid advancement in technology and innovation of short focussed high resolution transducers have made ultrasound imaging of musculoskeletal system, a practical proposition.

The excellent spatial resolution of ultrasound has made it a beautiful modality in comparison to CT and MRI.

The advancement in 3D technology has definitely given a new exciting tool to look into deep seated joints to find out the details of subtle fractures and other pathologies.

It has definitely enhanced the confidence level to diagnose many tricky situations.

Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is the first Atlas of its kind, where 3D ultrasound imaging has been used for evaluation of MSK pathologies.

The concept of Atlas is based on the famous saying that “An excellent picture is better than thousand words”.

Each ultrasound picture is self explanatory.

The whole MSK system has been divided into 13 chapters covering almost every aspect of MSK problems encountered in day-to-day practice.

There is no such Atlas available on MSK ultrasound.

First time, a comprehensive account of ultrasound of nerve imaging and brachial plexus has been given in a chapter format.

The clinical images are incorporated to have easy correlation with ultrasound images.

CT and MRI images are also incorporated for better understanding.

The aim of the book is to provide most illustrative and comprehensive Atlas on MSK ultrasound.

It contains more than 3600 images on MSK ultrasound, which makes this Atlas a very comprehensive book of its kind on the subject.
