Download or read book Pediatric Ultrasound a Practical Guide written by Allison Holley and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a handbook that was written by a sonographer, for sonographers, using a quick, easy access, reference format. It gives a concise review of ultrasound examination technique for pediatric patients and it is hoped to be of value to practitioners of all levels of experience. The content of the handbook has been drawn both from clinical experience in a pediatric ultrasound department and a comprehensive literature review. The information is presented in point form under appropriate headings. Each type of ultrasound examination creates a new chapter and gives patient preparation for various age groups, contraindications, equipment and organs examined for that particular procedure. Each chapter will provide scanning technique and for specific pathology examinations e.g. pyloric stenosis, descriptions of the ultrasonic features of that pathology. Examples of normal measurements and the correct level for taking these measurements are also included. Each chapter contains a series of ultrasound images giving examples of a film series for that type of examination and demonstrating specific anatomy, or scan planes through a particular organ. Accompanying every ultrasound image is a corresponding line drawing which labels anatomy and identifies relevant pathology or ultrasound specific landmarks. These drawings have been included to help practitioners gain a better understanding of the ultrasound image they are viewing and enable a more informed interpretation of the dynamic examination when viewed in real time. For the experienced sonographer in a non pediatric department, the book aims to provide quick reference to information not often used e.g. the appropriate patient preparation for a specific age group, or a reminder of measurement criteria for diagnosing pathology. For the remote or solo practitioner, the aim is to provide backup, giving examples of images of examination specific pathologies, and the measurements or criteria for diagnosing the pathology. The student sonographer will find the basics have been described, from which probe to use, to the overall scanning technique.

Download or read book Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound in Pediatric Imaging written by Paul S. Sidhu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive guide to the rapidly evolving field of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the child. The uses and interpretation of CEUS are clearly explained with the aid of numerous illustrations. The coverage encompasses both established indications, such as focal liver lesions, abdominal solid organ injury, and vesicoureteral reflux, and a range of newer applications. Extensive information is also provided on microbubble agents and their use in the pediatric age group, as well as on practical aspects of setting up a CEUS service for children. CEUS is a safe imaging method that is ideal for the young patient and can be used for problem solving in a number of clinical situations. Ultrasound combined with microbubble contrast avoids the ionizing radiation of a CT examination, the use of iodinated contrast, the need for sedation or a general anesthetic, and the complexities of MR imaging. In bringing readers up to date with best practice and the latest innovations in CEUS, this book will be of value for pediatric radiologists, pediatric sonographers/technicians, and pediatricians.
