The book's clear layout, flow charts, and text boxes make it possible to approach a diagnosis from several different starting points, such as sonographic criteria (echogenic? Anechoic?) or with the most likely diagnosis (pancreatitis? Splenic infarction?). The detailed information, plus all of the images required for the correct diagnosis, is always at your fingertips.

Organized anatomically, chapters each begin with a handy review of important sonographic characteristics and normal findings. The essential information for each possible abnormal finding follows, along with concise discussions of supplemental techniques, such as B-Mode images, Doppler imaging, and the use of contrast media. Elegantly crafted, concise, and accessible, Differential Diagnosis in Ultrasound Imaging is a tried and tested aid in making the most of ultrasound as a highly efficient diagnostic tool.
