"The textbook is extremely well organized. The application of color duplex ultrasound in detecting and assessing various disease states is concisely described and richly illustrated...The editor has succeeded in providing significantly improved information and updates on color Doppler sonography in the assessment of tumors and on new techniques. It offers a lot of information for a reasonable price and can be highly recommended to both beginners and advanced sonographers alike."--European Radiology

'A comprehensive yet simple to use workbook. . . interactive and challenges the reader to question and learn in each section. . . beautifully illustrated with numerous color examples and diagrams. This easily readable text is an excellent resource for sonographers of all levels.' -- SHADOWS

"Provides an introductory, nevertheless complete, insight of color-duplex ultrasonography...a compact, synthetic textbook. Following the presentation of each case, the reader is given a brief self-test quiz, with questions and images...the reader can test his progress and identify the subject which needs further study. Excellent teaching images...numerous numeric tables...add to the understanding of the matter discussed. Washable, pocket-sized reference cards...can be easily consulted during the performance of an examination. This teaching manual is recommended to junior residents and to those who are entering the field of color-Doppler US. It would be useful also to an experienced sonographer who may need a practical text." --Journal of Clinical Imaging

"The most impressive feature of this book is the quality of the images. ...Every chapter contains numerous images to support the text, clearly conveying the clinical link to the content. Highlighted boxes contain important information such as diagnostic criteria for a particular study, the controls used to optimise the PW Doppler spectral trace and examination findings and pitfalls. At the end of each chapter there are review questions...These would be extremely valuable to any student of ultrasound as they encompass a diverse range of duplex examinations and interventional techniques. ...Contains a remarkable amount of information."--ASUM Ultrasound Bulletin
