1.0 out of 5 stars NOT A GOOD BOOK, July 7, 2009

This review is from: Diagnostic Medical Sonography: Abdomen and Superficial Structures (Hardcover)

I used this book when I was a student, and I hated it. Every paragraph was lengthy and it made me MORE confused. I felt like I was reading War and Peace. I remembered nothing from reading it. I would save your money on this book and buy the two volume set called Textbook Of Diagnostic Ultrasonography by Sandra Hagen Ansert. That is so much better, and worth your money.

This review is from: Diagnostic Medical Sonography: Abdomen and Superficial Structures (Hardcover)

This is a very informative book. There are a lot of ultrasound images for pathologies. The quality of the US images are acceptable. I would have given this book a 5 star rating had it not been because some of the pictures are too dark while some are too bright. Or maybe it's just because the images were not taken in harmonics setting. I can't wait until they revise this book with higher quality US pictures.
