Manual of Diagnostic Ultrasound in Infectious Tropical Diseases

From the Back Cover
This manual is intended to fill a gap in the range of books on ultrasound diagnosis, concentrating exclusively on the diagnosis of infectious and tropical diseases. The book starts with a short introduction to ultrasound diagnosis. The main part describes and discusses the organ-related changes that can be detected with ultrasound in infectious and inflammatory diseases. The infectious and parasitic diseases that can successfully be diagnosed with ultrasound are presented in more detail. The important potential of interventional ultrasound diagnosis and therapy in infectious diseases is described. This richly illustrated volume has been written by leading experts from all over the world. It is primarily aimed at users of ultrasound diagnostic instruments in tropical and subtropical countries but will be valuable for physicians anywhere in the world confronted with these diseases.
Preface
Diagnostic ultrasound is a rapidly developing imaging technology widely
used in both industrialized and developing countries, as stated by a WHO
Study Group in 1996. Ultrasound is especially suitable for poorer countries
even outside the centers of population, since ultrasound does not need
a sophisticated infrastructure or expensive installations, but can be used
with transportable units even without a direct branch connection. Ultrasound
can be used not only as really universal diagnostic method but also
as a suitable guide for simple and careful therapeutic interventions, not at
least in infectious and parasitic diseases, such as bilharziosis, amebiasis
or hydatid disease. The method is safe concerning the bioeffects, but the
safety of a diagnostic tool also depends on the accuracy of the results, i.e.,
on the experience and the skill of the persons using the equipment.
Therefore theWorld Federation of Ultrasound inMedicine and Biology
(WFUMB) is focusing upon (biological) safety and upon education as well,
in cooperation with the WHO.
The stimulus to publish this small manual came from an African colleague
during an ultrasound course organized by the WFUMB. He said
there existed a number of nice and suitable manuals and books about ultrasound
in general, but he had not found a small manual dealing with the
specific infectious diseases common in subtropical and tropical regions.
Following his proposal, we set out to design a small manual on these
topics, not for the big libraries, but for direct use during the examination.
It should help our colleagues working in these areas and should encourage
them to use ultrasound on a large scale, including interventional ultrasound,
for the benefit of their patients.
For us it was really a great experience to find that all our colleagues,
individual members of the WFUMB from all parts of the world, agreed
without reservation to cooperate in writing this manual.We really do hope
that it was possible to distill the long experience of all these colleagues
in this small manual. At the same time, we recognize that this was a first
attempt. Therefore, we invite all colleagues to help us to eradicate mistakes
and further improve the manual in the future.
