PREFACE
The fourth edition of Diagnostic Medical Sonography: Abdomen and Superficial Structures is updated to reflect the major developments that have occurred since the last edition. Educators and colleagues
encouraged us to produce a fourth edition to incorporate new advances used to image, to refresh the foundational content, and to continue to provide information that recognizes readers have diverse backgrounds and experiences. The result is a textbook that can be used as either an introduction to the profession or a reference for the profession. The content lays the foundation for a better understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to enhance the caregiving role of the sonographer practitioner, sonographer, sonologist, or student when securing the imaging information on a patient.
The first chapter introduces terminology on anatomy, scanning planes, and patient positions. Adopting universal terminology permits every sonographer to communicate consistent information on how he or she
positioned the patient, how he or she scanned the patient, and how anatomy and pathology are sonographically represented.
The next four sections are divided into specific content areas. Doing this allowed the contributors to focus their attention on a specific organ or system. This simulates application in that while scanning, the sonographer investigates the organ or system, moves systematically to the next organ or system, and completes the examination by synthesizing all the information to obtain the total picture.
We made every attempt to produce an up-to-date and factual textbook while presenting the material in an interesting and enjoyable format to capture the reader’s attention. To do this, we provided detailed
descriptions of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and the normal and abnormal sonographic representation of these anatomic and pathologic entities with illustrations, summary tables, and images, many of which
include valuable case study information.
Our goal is to present as complete and up to date a text as possible, while recognizing that by tomorrow, the textbook must be supplemented with new information reflecting the dynamic sonography profession. With every technologic advance made in equipment, the sonographer’s imagination must stretch to create new applications. With the comprehensive foundation available in this book, the sonographer can
meet that challenge.
