Fully revised and updated, the 4th edition of Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound delivers a definitive, clinically focused guide to MSK ultrasound imaging. This bestselling resource provides a thorough, protocol-driven approach to scanning every major joint, empowering readers to build an efficient, systematic, and reproducible examination technique.
Each chapter pairs clear, step-by-step scanning protocols with high-quality illustrations and real-world ultrasound examples. Readers will see exactly where to place the transducer and how normal anatomy should appear, reinforcing spatial understanding and diagnostic confidence. Essential musculoskeletal anatomy is clearly reviewed and visually mapped to ultrasound findings, while common pathologic conditions are explored with corresponding imaging examples and integrated video content.
Expanded and enhanced topics include image optimization, color and power Doppler applications, and ultrasound-guided interventional procedures—bridging foundational knowledge with practical, hands-on skills. Designed for learners and experienced practitioners alike, this new edition serves as both a trusted reference and a day-to-day clinical guide for mastering musculoskeletal ultrasound.
