This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to use ultrasound
to understand human physiology both in the clinical setting and the
classroom. Tremendous advances in ultrasound technology have
resulted in portable ultrasound systems that are easy to use,
produce excellent images, and are affordable with quality hand-held
and laptop-sized systems costing between $2K and $20K. These
systems are now being used at the patient bedside or point of care
by almost all medical and surgical specialities from primary care
to orthopaedic surgery. These portable systems, especially the
hand-held devices, are now being called the stethoscopes of the
21st century and will likely be used by many that are presently
using stethoscopes including physicians, nurses, physician
assistants, medics and other health professionals. Ultrasound began
to be used in medical student education in the 1990s and is
steadily becoming a common teaching tool for courses like anatomy
and physiology. It is a visual, highly interactive learning tool
that bridges the basic and clinical sciences and allows the learner
to observe physiology principles in a living model. Ultrasound is
also being used to teach other health professions students as well
as undergraduate college students and high school students. Despite
this interest there are no books available that provide an
introduction to ultrasound and how it can be used to enhance the
teaching of physiology. This e-book will do just that as well as
offer "How to Scan" videos with example laboratory exercises to
further engage learners.
