Editorial Reviews

Review

"An updated overview of gynecologic ultrasonography (US) as currently practiced by gynecologists...pleasing, consistent, and understandable...a large-format book with high-quality paper and printing. There is abundant use of tables, with marvelous displays of a large number of US images, which are often paired with photographs of corresponding surgical specimens. The images are clear, the labeling is precise, and the descriptions are appropriate. A thorough list of references follows each chapter, and an inclusive index concludes the book...Multiple technically beautiful images are displayed on fine-quality paper in a text that is physically large enough to do them justice."--Radiology

"This book is very useful for clinicians interested in performing gynecologic ultrasound and it is one of the most comprehensive available."--Doody's Book Reviews

3.0 out of 5 stars Volume II Gynecology, October 20, 2007

This review is from: Ultrasound in Obstetrics And Gynecology: Textbook and Atlas, Volume 2 - Gynecology (Hardcover)

This is a second edition of the original German text published in 1997. It's quite surprising that the original text was published so long ago and now the English edition was supposed to be more up to date, as it was published in 2007. Paging through the book, there are many ultrasound pictures that aren't so pretty looking. They still convey the imaging findings but not as visually pleasing as our current sharp ultrasound images as you might expect in a book published in 2007. There are many pictures in the second half of the book using endovaginal 360 degree type coverage which I am not familiar with. Overall this is a good book but for the money, there are better books out there.
