Review

“This book is the gold standard; it exhaustively and encyclopedically covers diagnostic ultrasound…All departments of radiology must obtain a copy for their libraries. Radiology residents must have access to this book during their training…Practicing radiologists with an interest in ultrasound should buy this book for reference and read it for continuing education.” – AJR, review of the third edition

“This is an excellent reference that, despite its size, sitsw mnore often on my desk than in the book case, and I would recommend it to any ultrasound department. It comprehensively covers the bread-and-butter topics of general and obstetric ultrasound and would be a sound purchase for any radiologist or sonographer working in isolation”
