Sonography has emerged as a substantial diagnostic tool today. This handbook aims to cover ultrasound physics, abdominal and obstetric sonography, color Doppler, high resolution sonography and USG guided interventions with multiple choice questions and case reports for practical orientation.

Sonography has emerged as a substantial milestone in the feld of radiodiagnosis, imparting conspicuous contribution to early diagnosis and aiding the management of most of the ailments. Te easy availability, noninvasive nature, and costeffectiveness have led to its necessity as a fundamental tool usually at the frst referral level. Te number of radiologists and sonologists are not commensurate with that of patients to render profcient technique and interpretation.

Sonography has been recognized as a sine qua non for diagnosis of most of the conditions; hence, its knowledge is desired by the practicing doctors from most of the felds such as medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, ophthalmology, orthopedics, and so on, apart from radiologists. Tis book is formulated as a concise teaching guide for general practitioners, sonologists, and resident doctors aspiring for diagnostic medical sonography. Although this book has been drafed mainly for trainee sonologists, the text will be useful to other physicians interested in medical imaging as well.
