One of the most helpful books for a junior radiology resident
The challenges that a person faces as a junior radiology resident can be intimidating. This book will be beneficial to a budding sonographer earlier in the educational process, also. Ultrasound is a skill that has a high learning curve but this book truly levels the playing field. Organized by Organs and vascular structures, this book is an essential book in your library.
Transducer placement and corresponding sonographic anatomy is outlined in a clear and concise format. Vascular anatomy is well illustrated. The quality of images is excellent and is cross referenced with a schematic image.
My major criticism is outlining the keys to anatomy at the start of the chapter, as opposed to being key on its respective page. However, this does not detract from this books utility.
I highly recommend this book.
MUST Have for ultrasound student
This book will make imaging clear to you! The pictures are great, the keys are great, and the positioning is very clear. I am a first year first semester u/s student and I UNDERSTAND my images now that I have this book. It includes longitudinal & transverse cross sections. A MUST have book and will be great to keep in your pocket as a reference when you start scanning.
