Ecografia

Il percorso che conduce il medico alla diagnosi è costituito dal rilievo e dall'interpretazione dei segni clinici, cioè dalla semeiotica fisica che, ormai da quasi due secoli, è integrata dall'uso di strumenti e di tecniche diagnostiche avanzate. Con esami di laboratorio sempre più sofisticati e con le diverse tecniche di imaging, si può parlare oggi di semeiotica strumentale che si è arricchita ulteriormente negli ultimi decenni con l’ecografia.

Era il mio sogno, coltivato ormai da due decenni, iniziato dopo che mi sono ritrovata, da aspirante ecografista, a cercare, duranti i congressi, nelle esposizioni editoriali, il libro ecografico che mi potesse condurre per mano in modo semplice e immediato, ad imparare questa straordinaria metodica che è divenuta la vera passione della mia vita. Ma i sogni talora faticano a realizzarsi soprattutto se non si incontrano le persone con le quali condividerli.  E questo libro è rimasto la mia chimera sino a quando ho incontrato Cristina Felicani che ha condiviso con me questo progetto e ha contribuito alla sua realizzazione. A lei ho affidato i casi dei miei 25 anni di attività ecografica e con l’aiuto di tanti giovani medici che hanno frequentato i miei ambulatori siamo riusciti a concretizzare quel sogno. 

L'ecografia della mammella, come anche per altri distretti anatomici ma in modo peculiare, è oggi una metodica multiparametrica, in cui l'operatore utilizza tutte le opzioni tecnologiche necessarie, in aggiunta al B-mode, per massimizzare i risultati del proprio esame. Se il color-Doppler è da anni ormai parte ntegrante di qualsiasi indagine ecografica, bisogna tener conto anche delle nuove modalità di studio microvascolare, delle tecniche elastografiche, dei mezzi di contrasto e di tutte le altre opzioni che oggi sono "a bordo" degli ecografi. Questo manuale si propone di essere come una messa a punto, aggiornata e completa, sullo stato dell'arte dell'ecografia mammaria, allo scopo di calare in maniera appropriata l'approccio multiparametrico avanzato nel contesto degli scenari clinici senologici quotidiani. Corredato da ampio materiale iconografico (circa 1050 immagini, schemi e tabelle) ad illustrare i diversi quadri patologici. Un ausilio veloce e importante per l'esecuzione e la refertazione.

I "quiz aperitivo" (così chiamati per l'orario in cui venivano proposti in aula) di ecografia muscoloscheletrica sono da tempo
