About the Book

As is often pointed out, the trouble with ultrasound scanning is that it is totally operator dependent and skilled operators need to be properly trained. Practical Ultrasound: An Illustrated Guide will assist the beginner in learning how to operate ultrasound equipment, how to scan, and how to interpret the images that appear on the screen. This guide takes the operator through common scans that are typically encountered on a day-to-day basis in a busy hospital and are arranged according to anatomical sites. Each chapter comprises a revision section on useful anatomy, a scan protocol presented with clear instructions in a step-by-step approach, and a section on clinically relevant pathologies. Clear pictoral and scan presentation together with useful 'Hints' throughout will assist learning and help to improve the quality of images. Practical Ultrasound is an essential resource to all those learning to use ultrasound: sonographers, radiologists, and other medical and surgical specialists.

Review :
Commended in the Radiology category of the 2007 BMA Medical Book Competition. ... 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. Journal of Vascular Ultrasound 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. British Journal of Hospital Medicine, May 2007 5 Stars: Essential reading for a radiology registrar An excellent book that is a core text for all radiology registrars and ultrasonographers alike. Each chapter begins with a useful anatomy section that saves you having to plough through bigger anatomy text books. A practical step-by-step section on how to perform an ultrasound scan is supplemented by some high quality images and handy hints. Then each chapter finishes with a summary of common pathology likely to be encountered. All in all, this book has everything a trainee needs to become competent in learing the skills of ultrasound scanning. Buy it! Amazon customer review, Sept 06 5 Stars: A must have Well written, fantastic pictorials ... by far the best on the market ... also useful as a quick reference before a scan. Amazon customer review, Sept 06 5 Stars: Excellent practical handbook for US Excellent practical handbook for anyone wanting to learn ultrasound. Images and text are together unlike many other radiology books. Will be very useful for those preapring for FRCR 2a and 2b examinations. A must buy for a ultrasound trainee and practitioner. Amazon customer review, Sept 06 5 Stars I found this book to be true to its word and be a great practical guide: simple illustrations, uncomplicated language and acurate images. Good as a teaching guide for beginners and as a reference for more experienced sonographers. I found the section on liver and renal transplants to be the most helpful.
