Features: This manual provides guidance on the application of ultrasound in medical health screening for various diseases, suitable for doctors, imaging professionals, nurses, and midwives with a certain foundation in ultrasound technology. These personnel typically use ultrasound diagnostic instruments with basic functions but often find it difficult to consult experts. The chapters at the beginning of the book explain how ultrasound works, how to select a scanner, and clarify easily misleading ultrasound artifacts. The following 17 chapters introduce specific organs or systems of the body. Each chapter includes indications for ultrasound examination, patient preparation, and techniques that facilitate successful examinations. The book is richly illustrated with ultrasound scan images showing both normal and abnormal conditions, and almost every scan image is accompanied by corresponding computer-processed images, where significant features are highlighted. This manual was written by an international team of experts consisting of radiologists, doctors, and physicists, all of whom are experienced ultrasound specialists in developed and developing countries. It is hoped that this book will contribute to the more rational application of this important imaging technology, thereby improving diagnostic and treatment services for patients.
