Diagnosis and treatment of thyroid gland diseases are a very important part of the everyday clinical work of endocrinologists worldwide. Ultrasonography is an essential part of the clinical practice, and its development has largely broadened our clinical options. High-quality resolution ultrasound devices are now available in most hospitals and diagnostic centers around the globe. Ultrasonography can serve as the first diagnostic tool but the figure may sometimes provide the final diagnosis.
This book not only covers the whole spectrum of thyroid and parathyroid gland diseases but also aims to put them into the perspective of general endocrinology practice, utilizing the authors’ own experience from long-term teaching of hospital practice. This atlas is designed as a figure-based book. The authors hope that it serves its readers as a quick reference for clinical practice, not necessarily only in endocrinology practices but also in radiology practices, as well as other clinicians looking for easy-to-access figure information. Ultrasonography is an “expert-based” method partially dependent on the talent of the examiner but it also significantly depends on one’s ability, in the right moment, to recall something already seen. As such, we hope that we can help place “first images” in the minds of beginners, indicating both common and rare ultrasonography appearances. Each disease is therefore depicted several times, in several views, to ease the first steps with ultrasonography. This atlas is derived from its very successful Czech version, and although it is not the first ultrasonography publication, our everyday practice demonstrates the need for current and precise
information. We encourage our readers to employ a lot of patience at the beginning and wish them a great deal of success in their clinical practice.
