ABOUT THE BOOK:-
"This book covers a wide range of ultrasound examinations looking at the clinical question first. It is written for sonographers and student sonographers by two Academics and a sonographer. The book is divided into sections, starting with abdominal examinations and the common clinical question of Right Upper Quadrant Pain, which it then explores with possible diagnoses and ultrasound images of the pathology. Each chapter deals with a different clinical finding and at the end of each chapter there are quizzes to test the reader`s knowledge. The other sections cover Gynaecology, Obstetric, Superficial Structures and Miscellaneous areas, which includes Neonatal Hips and Heads and some vascular areas, which departments may find useful; there is no section on MSK (Musculo-skeletal) Ultrasound.
The colour images appear at the front of the book and I would have preferred these to have been placed within the text at the appropriate point. The references used within the book are mostly current. Equipment and technique are not covered in this book.
Because this book is written by American authors some terminology will be incorrect in the UK setting, so caution should be demonstrated by the student sonographer when using this book as a reference, especially in the Obstetric Section. This is especially true within the Early pregnancy setting where the wording used is different from the RCOG (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) recommended terminology. However, as long as the reader is aware of this, most Ultrasound Departments will find this a useful resource to have on their shelves and use for CPD."ISBN - 9780323091640
