Features: This book is divided into nine chapters. Each chapter discusses the diverse ultrasound examination methods and techniques for different superficial structures, such as the skin, superficial lymphatic system, eyes, facial and maxillofacial region, neck, salivary glands, thyroid and parathyroid glands, breast, scrotum, and superficial soft tissues. The diseases that occur in these structures are also varied. Therefore, each chapter independently elaborates on the anatomical overview, examination methods, normal sonographic findings, and pathological sonographic manifestations of their respective organs.
Additionally, due to the wide variety of lesions and complex nature of superficial organ diseases, as well as the lack of specific sonographic features in some conditions, a comprehensive analysis combining pathological characteristics and clinical manifestations is often required to make a diagnosis. In light of this, each chapter also includes dedicated sections that describe the sonographic features, clinical manifestations, and pathological basis of each lesion, helping readers gain a deeper understanding of various conditions.
The book is fully illustrated with 390 images, including color Doppler flow imaging, color or black-and-white grayscale two-dimensional images, and schematic diagrams. It aims to achieve a balance between text and visuals, presenting information in an accessible and easy-to-understand manner for readers.
