“…Owing to the incomplete visibility of the artery at VO, search for indirect signs of stenosis is essential (BLUTH et al 1989). Aside from a few very favorable cases involving segments VO and VI, analysis of the atherosclerotic lesion is not possible by B-mode imaging.…”

Cover-Design and Typesetting: Verlagsservice Teichmann, 69256 Mauer SPIN: 107099 57 21/3130 -543 2 1 O -Printed on acid-free paper ForewordSonography, by virtue of its noninvasive nature, is used more and more in modern medicine as the first imaging modality for adults and children presenting with unexplained cervical mass lesions as well as for the study of the carotid arteries and jugular veins.Remarkable advances have been achieved in ultrasound technology during the past 10 years, including color Doppler, power Doppler and the clinical use of new specific contrast agents. This technical progress has opened new and highly interesting diagnostic pathways for the study of a great variety of mass lesions affecting the various organs and anatomic areas of the head and neck region.This book intends to provided the latest, much-needed update of our knowledge on the diagnostic potential of sonography in the cervical region and constitutes a very welcome addition to our series "Medical Radiology", which aims to cover all important clinical imaging fields of modern diagnostic radiology. It will be of great interest for general and specialized radiologists, for pediatricians, and for vascular and head and neck surgeons.Professor J. N. Bruneton and his team in Nice are very well known experts in the field and they have, over the years, accumulated unique experience and a wealth of information on head and neck pathology as visualized with sonography. I would like to congratulate the editor and all contributors to this volume most sincerely for their outstanding work; the content is comprehensive, the illustrations superb.I would be pleased to receive any constructive criticism or comments that readers may like to express. Leuven ALBERT L. BAERT PrefaceAlmost 25 years ago, I had the pleasure of showing Jean-Noel Bruneton, then an enthusiastic student, the first detailed pictures of thyroid nodules which had become available thanks to a new generation of gray-scale machines with high-frequency, handheld transducers. Today, Prof. Bruneton, a well-known workaholic, has become one of the most distinguished specialists in this field. After 8 years of retirement, far away from ultrasound screens, I can measure the extent of the technical and clinical progress achieved in recent years. Immense changes have occurred since we first visualized thyroid nodules 25 years ago. This book by Prof. Bruneton and his associates should be considered a milestone in thyroid, parathyroid, and components of the neck, including vessels, and associated pathologies. The authors employ...
