Summary

Thyroid Ultrasound and Ultrasound-Guided FNA, Second Edition is a 'œuser friendly' book, written specifically for the clinician, and offers a hands-on approach to using ultrasound in the evaluation and management of thyroid disease. It discusses new information regarding ultrasound and the subtleties one needs to know in the application of this technique. By using scores of ultrasound images, it demonstrates how ultrasound is integrated with the history, physical exam, and other thyroid tests (especially FNA biopsy) to provide information that improves patient care. The book also presents many new innovative uses of ultrasound that are being implemented worldwide. It continues to be an important book, filling a void that exists in this field. Foreword written by Leonard Wartofsky, MD, MACP, Chairman, Department of Medicine, Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC.
