Ultrasound of Pelvic Pain in the Non-Pregnant Patient

However, the topic of how to investigate and diagnose has been surprisingly neglected in print. This important and much-needed text from an internationally respected expert shows how important ultrasound can be as a tool for physicians caring for women's health.
