About this title

Review

The presentation of this book is very clear and practical. The key points are highlighted in a few lines presented in small, colored tables placed in the margin of the first two or three pages of each chapter. Learning goals, also presented in small tables, are defined at the beginning of each section. An impressive number of sonographic images and explanatory drawings are displayed. These illustrations are of high quality. The clarity and pedagogical value of the diagrams must be underlined. Another major interest of this book is the very practical advice that is given concerning both the general progression of an ultrasound examination and the current technical problems that may arise, which is particularly useful for the beginners and often not mentioned in other textbooks on sonography. This practical self-study guide should be of great value for beginners. It might also be useful for qualified radiologists and specialists confronted with abdominal disorders.--Surgical and Radiologic AnatomyAn excellent teaching tool...has the most comprehensive series of images to date.--ASUM Ultrasound Bulletin
