Since the first edition of this book, sonography of the peripheral nervous system has further evolved. Not only has knowledge of the sonographic features of common neurological disorders deepened, but constant research has led to the application of sonography in the diagnosis and guided treatment of disorders that were not previously accessible. This second, revised edition reflects these ongoing developments in various ways. It includes many state of the art high-resolution images, reflects the current state of the literature, and presents information through a more modern layout. In addition, the new edition considers anatomic/sonographic correlation in-depth and explains an examination technique with modern sonography equipment. This book provides a practical, clinically oriented overview of all aspects of sonographic diagnosis and interventional therapy of the peripheral nervous system and will be of value to all with an interest in this field.
