It is a movement of pleasure and pride for me to bring out the Third Edition of the
book titled “An Atlas of Small Parts and Musculoskeletal Ultrasound with Color
Flow Imaging”. The second edition of the book was a huge success. The tremendous
response received by the book, was the main driving force to bring out the third
edition in less than four years time. Rapid growth on technology front with evolvement
of 3D imaging has given a new vision to look into the pathological conditions in
much better way. Introduction of 3D imaging has definitely given a new and exciting
way to peep deeper into many pathological conditions from different angles. It has
definitely enhanced the confidence level to diagnose many tricky situations.
This is the first Atlas where 3D ultrasound imaging has been used widely for its non-obstetrical applications
for better subject understanding. The size and format of the Atlas have been totally changed for better image
quality. The Atlas has become more comprehensive with more than 3600 images. Like the previous edition,
the focus of the atlas is on images and not on text. The images are self-explanatory. Incorporation of clinical
images makes it easier to understand. The aim of the book is to provide most illustrative and comprehensive
Atlas on the subject. I wish this Atlas would serve its purpose and work as a reference book for all the
practicing sonologists having interest in small parts and musculoskeletal ultrasound.
