Review

"Hands-on guide..organized like a sonography course, including positioning and step-by-step descriptions of each procedure. The front and back covers open for additional quick information. This edition is updated with the newest techniques.. It is heavily illustrated with sometimes extra alternative imaging modalities. Checklists and some normal values are provided on pocket-sized cards, which is convenient for a quick review. In conclusion, this new edition of a famous ultrasound workbook is ideal and attractive for radiology residents as a self-teaching manual."--Surgical Radiologic Anatomy

"A brief but handy reference...the back cover's flap makes identification of the numbered anatomy easy...The arrangement of the sonograms with a corresponding line drawing makes it a very useful anatomical reference...a good addition to the basic reference library for beginning sonographers...a useful book for a beginner as a means to learn basic sonography."--ADVANCE for Imaging and Radiation Therapy

"Oriented for use as a workbook and self-study manual."--Book News

"Will certainly have..success in the USA. The manual, which..is quite inexpensive, represents the desire by the publisher to offer an easy-to-obtain didactic "workbook" on general ultrasonography directed to the students of sonography and to the young physicians interested in the roles of ultrasonography. The text is very clear, with informative drawings, and there is a good number of scoring boards reporting the normal values of the different measurements, in particular dealing with the pregnancy status. The iconography is of good quality.."--Clinical Imaging

From the Author

This workbook is intended for physicians, technicians, and medical students who are new to sonography and wish to familiarize themselves with the technique of sonographic image formation and the interpretation of sonographic images. It also takes into consideration the fact that many novices genarally have a limited budget for purchasing textbooks on their chosen field. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars World's Easiest Ultrasound Learning Material, September 12, 2000

This review is from: Ultrasound Teaching Manual: The Basics of Performing and Interpreting Ultrasound Scans (Paperback)

If you are looking for some sort of "Ultrasound for Dummies", this is it! Forget about all difficult and thick physics and theories. If you open up this book, nice pictures of actual scanning with clinical images will be served for you. Instead of imagination how you get these images, you really can see how you have locate and move your transducer to get the images which is very important to make a diagnosis.

I had a chance to discuss with one luminary doctor about easy ultrasound learning material. This is the book which we have chosen for.

Very practical and benefitial for your study or daily practice.

Other benefit?

"It is very handy" ^^
