Ultrasound remains one of the most frequently used and valuable modalities for imaging and guiding interventional procedures. The number of ultrasound examinations carried out world-wide continues to increase and the global sales of ultrasound equipment, both new and refurbished, is increasing at some 3-5% each year. The flexibility, ease of use, range of applications and relatively low cost of the equipment make ultrasound an important investigative imaging tool.
The first and second editions of this book, edited by David Cosgrove, Keith Dewbury, Hylton Meire and Pat Farrant, were a great success, providing information and advice across the full range of diagnostic ultrasound. They were essential reading for those training in ultrasound and a source of information for many sonographers and sonologists across the world.
Techniques, hardware and data processing have all evolved and progressed at a rapid rate since the second edition of this book was published in 2001. As a result of these developments, ultrasound equipment is now available in more sizes, specifications and complexity than ever before and this has enabled many different types of clinician to use ultrasound in particular niche areas, in addition to the more general imaging function that it has always provided.
The chapters in the two volumes of this book cover all aspects of general ultrasound, as well as more specialised areas such as peripheral vascular and ophthalmic ultrasound. Some areas, such as musculoskeletal ultrasound, have developed into major applications of ultrasound and this is now essential to the management of patients with a wide variety of muscle and joint disorders. There has therefore been a significant enhancement of the coverage of these areas in this new edition.
Conversely, detailed fetal and maternal obstetric scanning in the mid and final trimesters has followed cardiac echography into a separate sphere of expertise. There are many excellent text books dealing with these aspects, therefore, the editors felt that a comprehensive review of obstetric scanning was best left to these volumes. However, first trimester problems will still be seen by sonographers undertaking general scanning so an account of these is included in this book.
The potential applications of echo enhancing agents, or microbubbles, have developed and changed significantly since the publication of the second edition of this book. Originally developed to rescue inadequate Doppler examinations, interesting properties of these agents have led to potential uses delivering drugs and genes.
The editors of the third edition of Clinical Ultrasound are extremely grateful to the many experts in their particular fields of ultrasound who have contributed the authoritative, comprehensive and informative chapters that make up this book. In particular, our thanks go to Ian Beggs, David Pilling and Norman McDicken, who were responsible for coordinating the musculoskeletal, paediatric and physics sections of the book. We are also very grateful to Michael Houston, Ben Davie and all the other staff at Elsevier who have worked on the many aspects of publication between the first outline discussions and the final published product.
