Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Extremities by Dr. Randy E. Moore is a straight-forward, easy-to-follow guide which stresses recognition of normal anatomy as a prerequisite to identifying pathology.

In the last 20 years, diagnostic ultrasonography has made tremendous strides. There has been an increase in the use of this process to image musculoskeletal structures and extremities. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Extremities by Moore is an introduction to the interactive process of scanning protocols. The book provides a foundation in which physicians can develop more advanced scanning abilities and improve evaluation and treatment of patients.

Clearly written and filled with color photographs, the book offers advice on everything from equipment selection to tips for technicians. Moore has also included sample reports.
