 Don't waste your money. February 20, 2005
editorial goddess (left coast, usa)
46 out of 47 found this review helpful
This review book was assigned to my senior ultrasound program in our last quarter of classes. A colleague of mine who is a radiologic technologist had used the A&L RT review book and found it helpful, so my expectations when it was assigned were to be able to learn and to have a good array of review questions.
However, this book seems to be a compendium of outdated information rife with typos that would be hilarious if they were not so frequent. I am finding that working through it is about a 75% waste of time. Who edited this?.... Anyone?...... Anyone?
Another problem is that images are labeled wrong, or not labeled (e.g.: "Name the structure with the arrow on example 5-113," and then there is no arrow. Or worse, the arrow clearly, unmistakably points to the aorta and the answer is IVC.).
The OB/GYN chapters are better than the physics and abdomen chapters; the latter have significant errors in them. My biggest problem is that as a whole these questions require very little critical thinking and are not "pitched" at a level commensurate with what I believe the ARDMS registries require (I will update this review after taking my registries in Mar.-April).
And now, for amusement value, some of the misprints:
"posterior urethral values"
for intussusception, "intersuppection"
"pleura effusion" --- and the list goes on.
For review I would recommend the following books:
Physics:
Physical Principles of General and Vascular Ultrasonography, Jim Baun, BA, RVT, RDMS http://www.jimbaun.com/jimbaunjan05_007.htm
Understanding Ultrasound Physics, Sidney Edelman, 2nd Edition
Abdomen:
Exam Preparation for Diagnostic Ultrasound, Sanderson/Dolk/Miner
Abdomen & OB/GYN:
Clinical Guide to Ultrasound, Charlotte Hennigsen.
