Fin dalla pubblicazione della prima e della seconda edizione di questo volume, gli apparecchi per ecografia hanno continuato la loro evoluzione e il loro perfezionamento, agevolando una migliore comprensione dell'anatomia ecografica dei tessuti molli dell'apparato muscolo-scheletrico. I tessuti molli rappresentano più del 50% della massa corporea. L'ecografia si mostra assai promettente in questo campo e il suo ruolo appare in continua evoluzione. L'ecografia ci mostra l'anatomia muscolo-scheletrica attraverso una prospettiva nuova e originale. La capacità dell'ecografia di evidenziare i liquidi con elevata sensibilità e specificità si rivela di estrema utilità nella diagnostica della patologia osteoarticolare. La diagnostica anisotropica tipica del mesoderma, insieme alla specificità dell'impedenza acustica del liquido, rappresenta il presupposto fisico sui quali poggia il successo dell'ecografia muscolo-scheletrica. Il buon esito diagnostico dell'ecografia risulta strettamente legato alla sua capacità di evidenziare l'architettura interna dei tessuti; per tale motivo abbiamo strutturato questo testo basandoci su presupposti anatomici. Il volume è suddiviso in capitoli che trattano la patologia in accordo con il tipo di tessuto (istologia) e che tengono anche conto dell'anatomia delle varie regioni (anatomia topografica). A questa edizione stati aggiunti nuovi capitoli: uno riguarda la diagnostica post-chirurgica e un altro tratta l'evoluzione del ruolo che l'ecografia muscolo-scheletrica sta avendo nella telemedicina. Nel Capitolo 8 sono presentate recenti e importanti acquisizioni in tema di meccanismi patogenetici. Il Capitolo 15 tratta dell'ecografia interventistica muscolo-scheletrica. Questo capitolo risulterà utile a quelli che hanno già iniziato a praticare l'ecografia muscolo-scheletrica ma che hanno il desiderio di espandere il proprio campo d'azione. Questa nuova edizione sottolinea l'importanza dell'utilizzo del color Doppler, del power color Doppler e delle registrazioni in tempo reale, o real-time. Questa terza edizione contiene un numero maggiore di informazioni sull'anatomia ecografica, sulle indicazioni a eseguire l'ecografia muscolo-scheletrica, sugli aspetti anatomo-patologici e sulle manifestazioni ecografiche delle varie patologie. La posizione che il paziente deve assumere rappresenta l'aspetto più dinamico dell'ecografia muscolo-scheletrica e a questo proposito accorgimenti tecnici sempre più avanzati compaiono in continuazione. I neofiti di questa disciplina devono sapere che è fondamentale conoscere le più recenti evoluzioni della materia. La recente e rapida evoluzione di questa metodica e il riscontro di un numero sempre crescente di colleghi attivi in questo campo dimostrano che l'ecografia muscolo-scheletrica rappresenta uno strumento di grande importanza per chi si occupa di patologia muscolo-scheletrica.

This book clearly explains the basics of cranial ultrasonography in the neonate, from patient preparation through to screening strategies and the classification of abnormalities. The aim is to enable the reader consistently to obtain images of the highest quality and to interpret them correctly. Essential information is provided both on the procedure itself and on the normal ultrasound anatomy. The standard technique is described and illustrated, and emphasis is placed on the value of supplementary acoustic windows. Attention is also drawn to maturational changes in the neonatal brain and to the limitations of cranial ultrasonography. Frequently occurring abnormalities are described and classifications for these abnormalities are provided. A new classification for neonatal cerebellar hemorrhages is introduced. In this third edition, all ultrasound images have beena replaced, reflecting the improvements in image quality. An entirely new chapter is devoted to Doppler ultrasonography. The illustrations have been improved and new illustrations were added. The reader will have access to highly informative videos on the cranial ultrasound procedure, available online via SpringerLink. The compact design of the book makes it an ideal and handy reference that will guide the novice in understanding the essentials of the technique while also providing useful information for the more experienced practitioner.
