One must congratulate Harris Cohen and Carlos Civit for the first edition of their book. Both Authors have written several texts before and their experience in writing and teaching shows. Their book covers a great deal of detail and has high quality images yet still reads easily. Another strength of this text is that Drs. Cohen and Civit assembled a large cast of contributors from different institutions thereby ensuring that there is no institutional bias which sometimes plagues similar books. Furthermore, they go to great length to provide several points of view on each topic. Having said that, the editors did an excellent job of maintaining consistency across the board. In summary, this is a well illustrated, detailed reference book for specialist yet, as it reads easily, can be used by the trainee.

I thouroghly enjoyed this review series, especially as I was preparing for oral boards. Full range of fetal and pediatric U/S topics are covered in concise yet thought provoking manner. Cases are presented as unknown just as on would expect in actual clinical practice, followed by description of the findings, most likely diagnosis, discussion of the entity and companion cases. Image quality is very good. I highly recommend this review series by Drs. Cohen and Sivit.

Very informative textbook. Skips through unnecessary gobbledygook i.e. CONCISE and TO THE POINT.
Ideal format for residents as well as practicing radiologists. Up-to-date information.
Quality of pictures is SUPERB.
Highly RECOMMEND this book as a Board Review text, as well.

Excellent for self testing for Radiology Boards with the added benefit of the answers and review pages acting as a textbook of pediatric and fetal ultrasound but in a interestingly refreshing format. I enjoyed reading it tremendously. A definite 5 star.
