Reviews

Olivia France

This text has several really informative introductory chapters covering the fundamentals behind US; physics, artifacts, positioning of the probe and handling. The content is ordered well for ease of use and with progressive difficulty so students can develop their US skills. The incorporation of pathological conditions, and specific case examples with how to make the diagnosis with example images is really effective. Key content is easily recognisable in highlighted boxes. Specialities included (neonatology, paediatrics, orthopaedics) allow for study of more intricate anatomy and use of US. I think this is an invaluable resource for developing US skills.
