5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Reference for New Sonographers, May 20, 2000

This review is from: Pocket Protocols for Ultrasound Scanning, 1e (Spiral-bound)

I recently graduated from the Florida Institute of Ultrasound. I desperatly needed some help in my new job remembering protocols, measurements, and how my images should appear before turning them in to the radiologist. This book has been a life saver! It's easy reference markers allows me to quickly find the subject I need, review protocol, and still have the patient out without prolonging the exam. A must have for new graduates.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you have the first edition, there's no need to buy the second!, November 9, 2007

This review is from: Pocket Protocols for Ultrasound Scanning, 2nd Edition (Spiral-bound)

I liked the first edition, eventhough there were a lot of images that were repeated over and over again(I would give it 4 stars- there are no other books like this that shows all the protocols you need, so I'll give the author credit for that). I bought the new one only to find myself looking at an identical book. There were hardly any added images in the second edition and it's not worth getting. My advice, stick to the first edition if you already have it. Buy the second edition "only" if you don't have the first edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars No indications of landmark, February 21, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Pocket Protocols for Ultrasound Scanning, 2nd Edition (Spiral-bound)

The pictures are good. The instructions on how to take the images are missing. No identification of landmark. Conclusion this book is not good for a student.
