This award-winning textprovides guidance on the fast-moving dermatological therapy options for virtually any skin disease you’re likely to encounter, including third-line and unusual therapies when initial options have not been successful.

Reviews
Ultrasonography of the hand in rheumatology is an excellent resource for scanning the hand and wrist. The sonoanatomy chapter gives a detailed but easy to follow guide to the sonographic views. The anatomical structures are clearly labeled on the ultrasound images and the corresponding probe position is shown on a patient model. The text contains lots of helpful information such as how to optimize imaging, avoid artifacts and use dynamic maneuvers. The sonopathology chapter is my personal favorite (as a rheumatologist). This chapter contains outstanding quality images depicting pathological features of commonly encountered inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthropathy and crystal disease. In addition to these two chapters the book also contains a concise chapter on clinical examination and a fantastic anatomy chapter with photos of cadaveric cross sections which are very helpful for understanding relationships between different structures for sonographic scanning. Additionally, the book features a chapter on other imaging techniques (X-ray, MRI, CT and PET) highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each technique compared to ultrasound. This chapter also discussed comparative imaging (fusion) of ultrasound and other imaging data sets. This book is relatively small but is very dense. It is a great resource for rheumatologists (and other practitioners/sonographers imaging the hand and wrist) who want to advance their ultrasound skills and knowledge. My only wish is that it came with online access to the contents. Perhaps the next edition!
