Key Features

  • The text is organized by the types of diagnostic problems sonographers encounter in everyday practice, rather than by organ or pathology.
  • Initial chapters that discuss physics, instrumentation, and basic principles of sonography and subsequent sections that focus on specific problem areas such as "right upper quadrant pain" prepare students for safe, effective sonography practice.
  • A consistent format leads students from a specific diagnostic problem to coverage of anatomy and techniques to discussions of pathological appearances and potential pitfalls.
  • Hundreds of new images (including new full-color illustrations of key topics) clarify sonographic techniques and results. 
  • Updates throughout—including two new chapters and expanded coverage of musculoskeletal, skin, and the role of sonography in an emergency situations-- bring the text thoroughly up-to-date.
  • Expanded technical chapters on 3D imaging, elastography, and sonography in the ER prepare students for safe and successful practice.
  • New Review Questions help students assess their understanding.
  • New critical thinking and case study questions encourage students to think sonographically.
  • A revised organization helps students focus on the clinical applications of the content.
