There are way better books out there for the price. The text contradicts itself numerous times, it is hard to use this book as a self study tool.You have to have an instructor at all times to make corrections and guide you through it. I had it as a student in school, and was constantly refering to different sources. Don't waste your money!

This is a good textbook if you have other resources available to double-check the information. The main problem I found with this book is that it tends to contradict itself, which can be quite frustrating for a student who is preparing for a test. For instance, the text will tell you that a certain condition usually presents as a single lesion, but the table right next to it says that same condition usually presents as a multiple lesion. This doesn't happen all the time, but it is more often than I would expect for a textbook.

Also, if you are an instructor wishing to use the multiple-choice questions from the test-bank, make sure to review the answer key. Sometimes the answer given as correct it just completely wrong.

We have instructed over twenty thousand professionals in diagnostic ultrasound and have found this text to be essential to any ultrasound practice. We recommend this text to each of our beginning and intermediate students, regardless of specialty of training or professional experience. Sandra has, over the years, consistently compiled a comprehensive reference for immediate and referential use. You will find it useful from the first day in the field, and for years afterward. Although it is by no means a basic text, its style is eminently readable and easily retained.

I have read the previous edition of this book. Compare the fourth edition, several improvements have been made in this edition: Each chapter begins with a list of key terms and definitions. Color illustrations and layout are used. A lot of new ultrasound images are added and the qualities of these images are much better. The text has been retrenched. Important points are put in tables for differentiation. Even there are still a few mistakes in this edition, I believe this is a great book.

This is a good textbook with cool pictures and it delivers the concepts you need to know in order to pass the board exams.

Very happy with the quality of the books. Quik and free delivery within two days.
Thank you so much.Textbook of Diagnostic Ultrasonography: 2-Volume Set

I got this to supplement the textbooks that were required for my Diagnostic Medical Sonograghy classes. This wasn't req'd but it is useful for my class in particular because my instructor's class is really hard! The answers in the back and the tests in the workbook will help and DMS student practice because all we ever do is take exams! Just wish it was cheaper, but I recommend it.

Excellent resource for students learning the field of ultrasonography. Text is very easy to read and understand and is filled with many images to assist in the learning process. Certainly a must for every sonographer's library.

This book is easy to read, has many illustrations, photos of actual ultrasounds and when paired with the workbook of the same name, is a great learning tool. I am thinking of keeping mine to help teach( non-ultrasound) anatomy and physiology.
