DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND - 2-VOLUME SET

The first edition of Diagnostic Ultrasound was extremely well received and became a standard, authoritative reference book. Given the advances in the field over the past seven years, including color and power Doppler and new and improved transducer technology, a revised, updated second edition is welcome. The editors have assembled an outstanding group of approximately 100 expert contributors. The layout of this book is beautiful. Colored boxes highlight important lists and tables throughout the text. The illustrations are large and well annotated and show exactly what they are intended to show. Correlative imaging methods, drawings, and diagrams are used appropriately. The topics covered in the two volumes cover the entire field of diagnostic ultrasound, including physics and bioeffects; contrast agents; abdominal, pelvic, and thoracic sonography; interventional sonography; musculoskeletal sonography; intraoperative and laparoscopic sonography; small-parts imaging; vascular sonography; obstetric and fetal sonography; and pediatric sonography. References are copious, cited throughout the text and listed at the ends of the chapters.
