This book of diagnostic exercises cannot be used to good advantage without a good grasp of elementary sonoanatomy and the most common pathologic l images . We have tried to follow a pedagogical progression from the simple to the complicated for each group of clinical situations. We recommend that the sonograms at the beginning of each case study be thoroughly analysed before proceeding to the commentaries which explain the grounds for the final diagnosis. These explanatory remarks are accompanied by the same sonograms, but with arrows and letters added so as to pinpoint the details referred to as the diagnosis progresses. In reading the commentaries it will therefore be a good idea to cover over the figures in which the details are picked out for you, uncovering them one by one as required. 1 Which the reader may obtain from our previous books: Ed., 1982) Ultrasonography of Digestive Diseases (Mosby Publ., 2nd Renal Sonography (Springer Verlag, 1981) 1 Chapter 1 In Which the Reader is Invited to Clean His Glasses 1.1. Mrs. Beech, 75 years, has the complexion of a young girl, but she is losing weight and complains of epigastric pain. She has undergone a whole series of conventional radiological procedures; this may be good news for the film manufacturers, but it has not aided in the diagnosis. Finally, she is referred for an ultrasound examination. Look first at ultrasonic cuts 1.1a, b (transverse), then LId (sagittal).

Dieses sonographische UEbungsbuch setzt gute Kenntnisse der elementaren sonographischen Anatomie und der gelaufigen pathologischen Schnittbilder l voraus . Wir haben versucht, in jedem Kapitel, das jeweils eine Gruppe ahnlicher klinischer Probleme umfasst, eine didaktische Aufgliederung vom Einfachen zum Komplizierten vorzunehmen. Wir empfehlen, die einleitenden Sonogramme jeder Fallstudie zunachst sorgfaltig zu analysieren, bevor die Kommentare gelesen werden, die die Grunde fur die Schlussdiagnose darlegen. Diese erklaren- den Bemerkungen werden durch eine Wiederholung der sonographischen Abbil- dungen erganzt, die jetzt jedoch mit Pfeilen und Buchstaben versehen sind, um die Details zu bezeichnen, auf die sich die Erlauterungen beziehen. Es erscheint sinnvoll, die Abbildungen mit den Markierungen abzudecken, bevor die Kom- mentare gelesen werden, und sie erst aufzudecken, wenn der Text es erfordert. 1 ..., die der Leser aus unseren Buchern erhalten kann: Ultraschalldiagnostik in der Gastroenterologie (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg 1982) Renal Sonography (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg 1981) 1 Kapitell ..., in dem der Leser ermuntert wird, seine Brille zu putzen l.l. Frau Dachs, 75 Jahre, hat das Aussehen eines jungen Madchens. Sie verliert jedoch Gewicht und klagt uber epigastrische Schmerzen. Sie hat eine ganze Reihe konventioneller radiologischer Verfahren uber sich ergehen lassen mus- sen. Dies ist fur die Roentgenfilmhersteller eine gute Nachricht, hat zur Diagnose jedoch nichts beigetragen. Zuletzt wird sie zu einer Ultraschalluntersuchung uberwiesen. Sehen Sie sich zunachst die Schnittbilder 1.Ia und 1.Ib (transversal) und 1.Id (sagittal) an.

When people complain about poor communications the real problem is often lack of agreement. We need a strategy that assumes disagreement. We need to take off our glasses and look through glasses of a different color. Colorful leaders spin the filters to get a clear, rich, natural color image. How others feel, what they think, and where they want to go, matters a great deal. The colorful leadership discipline is to look for the zone of overlap, similar to the way your TV combines red, green and blue lights to make white light and color images. By viewing business and personal needs from thee perspectives you avoid getting stuck with your single point of view. To survive, a business needs people and how people feel is absolutely critical, but it is not the only thing. You also need a quality service or product that can compete in the market. The market is unfeeling. Your product must stand on its own. Quality and good feelings are essential, but not sufficient. To survive long term you must adapt to a changing world. The economy, politics, climate, and a host of unpredictable factors require that you constantly innovate and adapt. Looking from all three perspectives all the time is what the Colorful Leadership Discipline is all about. You will never achieve total agreement on these multiple factors, but where they overlap is the sweet spot were effective leaders focus their attention to maximize their long-term results.
