Full Description
Diagnostic Ultrasound of the Foot and Ankle is a valuable resource that examines the proper ultrasound technique when imaging the lower extremity.
Editors John Tassone Jr and Stephen L. Barrett, along with a group of ultrasound specialists, delve beyond identifying pathology and provide readers with an analysis correlating how the information gained from a lower extremity ultrasound can be used in surgical planning. Additional images provided by world-class sonographer Brian Kincaid supply further clarification and illustration of ultrasound imaging.
