4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging, June 23, 2002

This review is from: Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (Hardcover)

The second edition (2001) of this work has become the reference book of choice in our practice for ultrasound imaging of the musculoskeletal system, such that a copy is available at each location where this modality is employed.

My only criticism is that at times one has to work to find the required information, as it is not always brought together systematically in one location but may be found scattered on different pages. We use as a companion book the second edition (2001) of "Clinical Sports Medicine" by Peter Brukner and Karim Khan, which is not an imaging book but provides much useful information in a well-written, systematic fashion.

I pondered for a while before allocating the star rating, as this is really an excellent book. I would prefer at this time to give four and a half stars to this second edition of "Musculoskeletal Ultrasound", reserving the additional half star for a later edition when I hope information will be arranged in more user-friendly and systematic fashion.

Those interested in musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging will not want to be without this book.
