Differential Diagnosis in Ultrasound

by Satish K Bhargava, Sumeet Bhargava

This book focuses on differential diagnosis in ultrasound. Ultrasound (US) modality has evolved from its primitive nature to its present glamorous status. Its popularity in radiology has always been due to its cost-effectiveness, easy availability and noninvasive nature. Its diagnostic role has been explored in every organ system and its usefulness felt every time. Its support in therapeutic techniques is unparalleled. Radiology without ultrasound is unimaginable. This book consists of 20 chapters, which include chest, neck lesions, hepatobiliary system and abdomen, spleen, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, retroperitoneum, renal, urinary bladder, adrenal gland, peritoneal and mesenteric masses, scrotum, testis and epididymis, prostate, breast, musculoskeletal system, orbit, neonatal and infant brain, neonatal and infant spine, and gynecology and obstetrics. Almost always real-time US is the initial investigative tool in the radiology department. Many a time, this modality is enough to establish a diagnosis and always provides a direction for further evaluation. This book is a special effort to provide a concise knowledge of the differential diagnosis of a sonographic finding. Line diagrams and illustrations have been added to support the text. This book is useful to all practicing sonologists.
