Chest physicians and thoracic radiologists from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the US contribute 12 chapters on the use of pleural ultrasound in the clinical setting. They detail clinical indications; basic physics; bringing the ultrasound machine to the patient; image interpretation of normal ultrasounds, pleural effusions, and related thoracic structures; pneumothorax; artifacts, pitfalls, and limitations; real-time ultrasound-guided pleural procedures; ultrasound skills and application beyond the pleura; training and accreditation; and choosing a thoracic ultrasound machine. Online access to an ebook with ultrasound clips and videos is included. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

With a large volume of ultrasound images and teaching videos, Pleural Ultrasound for Clinicians: A Text and E-book is a print and interactive digital resource that provides practical guidance for all those undertaking pleural ultrasound investigations and procedures. With clear, precise instructions for clinical practice, it will help clinicians:

  • Recognise normal anatomy as well as common pleural pathologies
  • Perfect techniques for ultrasound-guided pleural procedures
  • Learn how to choose the correct ultrasound equipment for their department
  • Test their knowledge through the self-assessment and revision sections

Recenzijos

"This is the first book on this topic and it is a valuable contribution to the field of pulmonology. I teach and perform ultrasound-guided pleural procedures, and I found this to be a complete and concise manual on the topic. Weighted numerical score: 99 - 5 stars." K. P. Ravikrishnan, FRCP(C), FACP (William Beaumont Hospitals), from Doody's Book Reviews
