About this book

Ultrasound has become established as the diagnostic procedure of choice in guidelines for the management of thyroid nodules by essentially every professional organization of endocrino- gists. In this, the second edition of their outstanding text on thyroid ultrasound, Baskin, Duick, and Levine have provided an invaluable guide to the application of gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasonography to state-of-the-art diagnostic eva- ation of thyroid nodules, and to the management of thyroid cysts, benign thyroid and parathyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. Differences with, and additions to, the first edition highlight the extraordinary and dramatic advances in appli- tions of ultrasonography that have occurred in the past decade. The high yield of malignancy in ultrasound-guided fine-needle (FNA) aspirates of nondominant nodules in multinodular glands has altered our mistaken complacency in assuming that palpation-guided FNA only of palpable dominant nodules was adequate for diagnosis. Rather, ultrasound has taught us that the commonly held belief that malignancy is less likely in a multinodular gland is incorrect. Utility of ultrasound has gone far beyond just the initial diagnostic approach, as improved highly sensitive probes allow accurate characterization of the nature of thyroid nodules or lymph nodes, setting priorities for FNA and for serial monitoring for changes in size that could imply malignancy.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"Theoretical, practical, and even research topics are well represented in this book on thyroid and parathyroid ultrasound. … This book will be of interest to anyone who sees patients with thyroid diseases, practicing endocrinologists as well as endocrine fellows. … This excellent book on thyroid ultrasound will be very helpful to endocrinologists who care for patients with thyroid disease. It is well written and its wonderful ultrasound images help elucidate the numerous topics. I really enjoyed reading this book, and I recommend it very highly." (Ronald N Cohen, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2008)

"This handy booklet certainly should be considered a valuable tool for all those who are in contact with thyroid diseases and/or thyroid disorders such as, for instance, endemic goiter and its epidemiology. … All dramatic advances in this field are described in 14 chapters written by experienced experts from two continents … ." (Endocrine Regulations, 2008)

"This is the first comprehensive, up-to-date textbook in this field, which will give you meticulous information on every topic. Most of the images are of very high quality … . There are numerous image examples from each entity. There are many good recommendations in the book. … Thyroid Ultrasound and Ultrasound-Guided FNA, second edition, is a totally new book. It will be invaluable to anyone performing ultrasound examinations and ultrasound-guided cytologic biopsies with real-time image assessment of the thyroid and cervical lymph nodes." (Arne Heilo, Acta Radiologica, Issue 8, 2009)
