Key features of the fourth edition:
Special multiple-exposure photos demonstrate the dynamics of handling the transducer
Triplet-image units vividly illustrate transducer positioning, the ultrasound image, and relevant anatomy
Reference numbers on the accompanying diagrams help you to both actively develop your knowledge and to test it at any time. The legend located on the back cover flap is the key to the reference numbers that are used consistently in each diagram.
Quiz images at the end of each chapter are the perfect tool for rigorous self-evaluation
Physical fundamentals are presented in vibrant, illustrative diagrams
Numerous practical tips and tricks make it easy to familiarize yourself with ultrasound
A primer on ultrasound interpretation explains specialized terminology concisely and clearly
Precise descriptions of algorithms for transducer positioning facilitate real-time examinations
