Description
Atlas of Ultrasonography in Urology, Andrology, and Nephrology provides an authoritative and up-to-date guide to ultrasound examination of the entire urogenital system, with particular emphasis on male urogenital disorders. The book offers comprehensive coverage of ultrasound imaging in conditions affecting the kidneys, urinary tract, prostate, seminal vesicles, bladder, testes, and penis, including the evaluation of male infertility.
In addition to diagnostic imaging, the atlas includes detailed discussion of intraoperative and interventional ultrasound, as well as recently developed and advanced ultrasound techniques. Each chapter systematically defines the indications and clinical purpose of ultrasound, outlines its benefits and limitations, specifies technical and equipment standards, and provides clear guidance on examination performance. Expected diagnostic accuracy for differential diagnoses and standardized reporting methods are also addressed, supporting consistency and high-quality clinical practice.
The recommendations presented are grounded in a thorough review of the scientific literature, established guidelines, and expert consensus from the Imaging Working Group of the Italian Society of Urology (SIU) and the Italian Society of Ultrasound in Urology, Andrology, and Nephrology (SIEUN).
Designed for physicians involved in first-line evaluation of renal, urinary, and male genital disorders, Atlas of Ultrasonography in Urology, Andrology, and Nephrology is an indispensable reference for urologists, nephrologists, and other healthcare professionals seeking accurate, standardised, and evidence-based ultrasound diagnostics.
