Main description:

This unique ultrasound atlas is dedicated entirely to pathology of the scrotal contents. The 357 illustrations constitute the major proportion of the book, each of them is accompanied by a labelled diagram and detailed description. The atlas covers the essential embryology and ultrasound anatomy, the principal clinical presentations encountered in practice by the clinician and radiologists, and the differential diagnosis of intrascrotal cysts and calcifications. For each chapter there is a short but precise text, supplemented by tables or decision-making algorithms followed by the relevant images.
