About this book
This book provides a comprehensive clinical review of
diagnostic and interventional applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound at the
point-of-care. As more rheumatologists and other musculoskeletal providers in
training and in practice learn the skill of musculoskeletal ultrasound, an
increasing number of them will seek study materials for exam preparation and
practical knowledge that apply to their clinical practice. Each chapter covers
a standardized protocol of joint images with probe placement, and includes
numerous examples of common ultrasound pathologies, clearly addressing what
kind of pathology to look for with specific ultrasound image views. Review
topics are emphasized, and study tools such as key-concept overviews, lists of
important studies in the field, and extensive questions for self-assessment are
included throughout. Because ultrasound training is moving toward becoming a
mandatory part of rheumatology fellowship and has become mandatory in physical
medicine and rehabilitation residencies, this book is a valuable educational
resource for rheumatologists, physiatrists, and musculoskeletal providers
seeking a practical review guide for preparation of certification exams and use
in clinical practice.
