5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!, November 10, 2008

By	Cherish L. Hockey "Cher" (Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is by far my favorite ultrasound textbook. It breaks everything down by organ, gives a full discription of "normal anatomy" and then further breaks it down by disease process. Each disease process gets its own heading and has a 2-5 page detailed explanation. The book gives information about clinical presentations, symptoms, correlating dianostic imaging test results and, best of all, has TONS of images!!! I have never seen a book with higher quality images before. And there isn't just one for each abnormality, there are several! The explanations are neatly organized and easy to read. They even put a "What you really need to know" type box at the top so if you're lazy you can just read that. Everything is covered that one would need for the abdominal board exam, obscure small parts included. The ONLY thing this book doesn't have are quiz questions, so if you're looking for exam practice look to Lippincott's review book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Ultrasound department needs this book..., June 9, 2009

By	Hugh M. Parker (New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent text for general ultrasound departments. Areas covered include abdominal, gynaecological & small parts ultrasound imaging in one of the most useful formats I've yet to discover. Each topic is broken down into sections e.g. grayscale, colour Doppler & spectral Doppler features. Also included is how each pathology appears on alternative imaging modalities - above and beyond the books title!

Although this text also includes very useful chapters for breast, musculo-skeletal and vascular imaging, I believe anyone specialising in these fields will find more information elsewhere. Obvious omissions from this text is the lack of paediatric & neonatal cranial ultrasound. Obstetric ultrasound imaging is covered within a separate (also excellent) text in the publishers Diagnostic Imaging seriesDiagnostic Imaging: Obstetrics. Otherwise, specialised fields including endoscopic, intra-operative, opthalmic, rheumatoid & penile ultrasound imaging are not included.

Despite any areas of omission, I believe this is still the best ultrasound text for general imaging departments, and is particularly well laid out for those studying Diagnostic Ultrasound.
