A good residency book November 15, 2009
Fadi Toonsi (Saudi Arabia)
This review honestly is not totally personal..
I was told by many residents in our program that this book would be THE ultrasound book I would need.
After I started reading it and referring back to it when faced by many different clinical settings I believe the advise I got is true.
The book is well organized with appropriate headings and subheadings for general, vascular and OB/GYN ultrasound disease.
Its language is straightforward and each section simplifies the findings and nicely describes the differential diagnosis.
This is what I was told about this book and personally find in it.
Excellent US text April 22, 2009
medhchang (Atlanta, GA)
Very good and practical coverage on most aspects of US, particularly thyroid US. This book is a bargain compared to Rumack's which is the US Bible for many radiologists. A resident can pick up and read this text unlike Rumack's however (very large two volume set) and the authors facilitate this by providing labeled US images of basic anatomy before delving into each section.
The only thing I would like to see included would be a section on peripheral arterial US which is something that is is encountered alot more frequently in community practice then when I was training. I would drop the MSK section from the book even though it is well-written because it is something most practices do not perform since most US techs and radiologists have little if any training in MSK US.
quick review April 2, 2009

Hi everybody,
Recently I got hold of this excellent book. As a starter in the field of Imaging Diagnostics and having spend several years in the Clinics, I should say that this book is a real "prerequisite" for everyone who wants to have clear-cut explanations of 80% of all diagnostic criteria in US. Even if you do not have any knowledge about US - the book will take care.
It is organized clearly, for quick reference, excellent quality of the images and the content coverage.
After you read it, you can have the confidence and start diagnosing on your own, not asking the Senior for every detail.
The rest - you will find in the encyclopedic textbooks.
I firmly recommend it.
Very good! March 17, 2009

This book is perfect as a first approach to ultrasound. It may not replace Rumack's, but all themes are covered and the information it provides is very complete. Besides, its great quality for a very good price can hardly be beaten by others. I'd recommend it.
GREAT resource! August 9, 2008
Bryan B (Salem, NH United States)
I'm a sonographer in a general ultrasound department of a hospital, graduated last year. I was looking through Amazon's list of general resource books for ultrasound, and took a chance on this one. VERY glad I did! This is a great book to keep around in the department, or even to study from. Great images, extensive topic coverage, and well laid out. I would recommend it to anyone in a similar position, no matter the experience. Not much in the way of neonatal ultrasounds, and I wish there was more on vascular, but it really does a great job with Abdomen, OB/GYN, small parts, etc.
