Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound 3rd Edition by Jon A. Jacobson (Paperback)

Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, Third Edition by Jon A. Jacobson, MD, is the Elsevier paperback in the Fundamentals of Radiology series that teaches how to perform and interpret musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound joint by joint.

Jacobson’s book is the one most MSK ultrasound courses hand out because it is practical. Each region, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot, is covered with anatomy, patient positioning, transducer placement, normal appearance, common pathology, tips and pitfalls. The third edition is fully revised and comes with more than 200 narrated video clips of real-time dynamic scanning, plus demonstrations of common ultrasound-guided injections and aspirations with transducer and needle positioning.

Why this edition

The third edition expanded the video library and refreshed the images, which matters in a modality where normal and abnormal are learned by eye. It is concise enough to read before a rotation and detailed enough to keep next to the machine. Many training programs list it as the single required MSK ultrasound text.
