This atlas presents a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of
ultrasonography in the head and neck and will serve as a valuable
resource for clinicians, surgeons, and otolaryngologists in private
practice. The volume addresses all fields of office-based
ultrasonography and gives an overview on the physical principles of
ultrasound and sonographic techniques, along with detailed
demonstrations of typical sonographic characteristics of particular
diseases in the head and neck. Written by experts in the field it
provides tips and tricks for ultrasound imaging. Subsequent chapters
focus on office-based ultrasonography of the face and paranasal sinuses,
salivary glands, floor of mouth and tonsil pathology, lymph node
pathology, neck masses, thyroid and parathyroid glands, esophagus, and
larynx. Special chapters address endosonography of the pharynx and
larynx, interventional sonography, and intraoperative sonography. Latest
technical developments in the field and their application to clinical
ultrasonography are also demonstrated. A brief review of the existing
latest literature addressing particular topics follow each chapter. All
sonographic findings are demonstrated by high quality
ultrasound-pictures and supplementary videos.
Ultrasonography of the Head and Neck will
serve as a useful guide for all physicians dealing with head and neck
ultrasonography and its application to clinical medicine.
