Description
This first of its kind richly illustrated book provides a tabular and schematic representation of all the peripheral nerves in the human body using a standardized landmark-based algorithm for the definition of the nerve’s “Point of optimal visibility (POV)”. In this atlas the nerves of the human body are depicted with high-frequent ultrasound probes with frequencies up to 24 MHz: it presents not only the “known” large nerves (N. ischiadicus, N. femoralis, N. medianus etc.), but also the tiny nerves you have learned in your anatomy sessions but forgotten in the course of time! Based on clear illustrations using palpaple/visible external and easily accessible internal landmarks, it offers “nerve sonographers” a clear sonoanatomic guidance on how to easily find the nerve. Additionally, it describes the exact positioning of the probe so that each nerve can be found at its point of optimal visibility.
Reviews
This is a really great textbook, especially for visual-based learners, with a really nice collection of photos covering different patterns and morphologies, and not pages with walls of text. Each chapter/topic is really well-organized by patterns observed in each specimen type, and each pattern has a checklist of etiologic considerations, as well as bullet point lists for key features of certain diseases, sample signouts, and a ‘Near Misses’ section that I really liked. The authors also include tables on key molecular alterations, radiographic findings, and guidelines for different reporting systems (Bethesda, Milan, Paris, etc). It was a comprehensive, but also a relatively quick read, and easy to return to for a brief review. There is also a nice self-assessment at the end with answers so you can test your knowledge. I would definitely recommend this book to any pathology resident/fellow interested in Cytopathology.
