Synopsis Everything you need to know, see, and interpret in your daily work, presented in words and pictures! Basic physical and technical principles, examination techniques, and documentation are covered in the gray part of the book. What differential diagnoses should you consider for specific signs and symptoms? When can ultrasound advance the diagnosis, and what are the typical sonographic signs that suggest a diagnosis? Find out by looking under common signs and symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, palpable masses, edema, joint swelling, etc. in the green part of the book. A systematic approach to the ultrasound examination of specific organs and organ systems, postoperative ultrasound, and the search for occult tumors, with emphasis on scanning protocols, normal findings, and possible abnormal findings and their significance, are covered in the blue part of the book.
