…a long-overdue contribution to any student or practitioner of ultrasonography in any of its many modalities…Practical Ultrasound: A Illustrated Guide is one of the rare volumes that should be present in any ultrasonographer's library. The ease of use and clarity of the information provided is timeless and valuable.

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, May 2007
Practical Ultrasound is an excellent book primarily aimed at radiology and sonographer trainees but also anyone contemplating undertaking general ultrasound... tailored to assist the learner in mastering the technical aspects of the ultrasound machine, acquiring and interpreting the images.

Technology has advanced greatly in the past twenty years and the use and efficiency of ultrasounds has also increased. Despite this, practical instruction in ultrasounds does not feature heavily in basic doctor training. This in turn leaves many doctors and trainee specialists unsure of how to employ ultrasound for their patients, as well as how to read them properly. Practical Ultrasound: An Illustrated Guide is here to solve that problem; packed full of illustrations and scans, it employs a four step practical guide in the use and reading of ultrasounds.

Focussing on different anatomical areas and conditions specific to those body parts, each chapter of Practical Ultrasound: An Illustrated Guide uses a combination of illustrations and scans to provide a step by step guide to what to look for and where to find it.

Step 1: Where to put the probe
Step 2: Instructions to Operator
Step 3: Schematic of what is seen in the scan
Step 4: The scan.

Practical Ultrasound: An Illustrated Guide is a must have for trainee radiologists, ultrasonographers and for all of those passing on diagnostic information to patients.
