This book provides a comprehensive clinical review of diagnostic
and interventional applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound at
the point-of-care. As more rheumatologists and other
musculoskeletal providers in training and in practice learn the
skill of musculoskeletal ultrasound, an increasing number of them
will seek study materials for exam preparation and practical
knowledge that apply to their clinical practice. Each chapter
covers a standardized protocol of joint images with probe
placement, and includes numerous examples of common ultrasound
pathologies, clearly addressing what kind of pathology to look for
with specific ultrasound image views. Review topics are emphasized,
and study tools such as key-concept overviews, lists of important
studies in the field, and extensive questions for self-assessment
are included throughout. Because ultrasound training is moving
toward becoming a mandatory part of rheumatology fellowship and has
become mandatory in physical medicine and rehabilitation
residencies, this book is a valuable educational resource for
rheumatologists, physiatrists, and musculoskeletal providers
seeking a practical review guide for preparation of certification
exams and use in clinical practice.
