Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Head and neck ultrasound is a standard radiological examination performed at most hospitals. It is an important topic and all specialist registrars in radiology will need to learn how to scan the organs and structures of the head and neck. This book covers normal anatomy and provides a comprehensive account of pathological processes in all of the head and neck structures, including the vasculature. With excellent diagrams and high quality images, it illustrates the key technical and diagnostic steps needed by both trainee and established radiographers or radiologists. It provides clear guidance on scanning technique, potential pitfalls and common problems, and how to achieve optimum image quality. Key topics include: normal anatomy of the head and neck region, practical scanning technique, the salivary glands, the thyroid and parathyroid, lymph nodes, cystic masses, the larynx, what the surgeon needs to know and why, biopsy techniques and basic vascular ultrasound.

I recommend this book for those doctors or techs who want a good overview of head and neck ultrasonography. Full of colour photos. It has been very helpful for me in my practice of endocrinology and diagnostic thyroid ultrasounds and FNAs. There is a chapter on FNAs & biopsies. Very useful for those doctors who want to do the ultrasounds themselves instead of relying on an US tech. It was recommended to me by an experienced ultrasound tech.

This book provides a very comprehensive introduction to head and neck ultrasound. Each section of text is accompanied by a clear ultrasound image of the pathology. There is also a good deal of clinical and helpful hints in the book.
Although it is very thorough, some of the topics could use a little more coverage or additional images.
A very good buy overall for anyone getting started in Head and Neck ultrasound imaging. The advanced user will probably want a little weightier text.

The book was written for radiologists who wished to achieve a better understanding of basic anatomy and pathology using high resolution ultrasound techniques. However, as a head and neck surgeon now into the field of diagnostic ultrasound including US fine needle aspiration, this book was exactly what I was looking for. It is clear, well marked and written, and clearly written for a practicing clinician. It does not delve at all into the physics and makes a practical assumption that there is some skill level by the operator prior to reading this book. It is also very well organized with two different tracks. The very first is dividing the discusion by functional areas, i.e. thyroid, lymphatics, etc. Next it is written by anatomical areas, i.e. Levels 1-6, larynx, carotid, parotid, etc. If you are interested in getting into this field, you will need a bit of practice with this technology prior to reading the book, but once you do, it is immensely helpful.
