Color Atlas of Ultrasound Anatomy (Flexibook) 1st edition

Just started my program and this is super great! Helps me identify what I don't know without showing the answers on the page

Although I've not give 5 stars it's a must book. If you have not been to the ultrasound department or you have been for a long time it's also a must have book. It describe very well the anatomy and the measure of the organ that doctors do during the examination.I personally found it really helpful during my everyday practice.from Tirana/AlbaniaThank youFaleminderit

this is a great pocket book for 1st year radiology residents. but there are no specific measurements (like general obstetric) or age related measurements for liver, spleen and kidneys that we encounter everyday and also transrectal and transvaginal images are not included.but again, i still recommend this book.

This book will make imaging clear to you! The pictures are great, the keys are great, and the positioning is very clear. I am a first year first semester u/s student and I UNDERSTAND my images now that I have this book. It includes longitudinal & transverse cross sections. A MUST have book and will be great to keep in your pocket as a reference when you start scanning.

The challenges that a person faces as a junior radiology resident can be intimidating. This book will be beneficial to a budding sonographer earlier in the educational process, also. Ultrasound is a skill that has a high learning curve but this book truly levels the playing field. Organized by Organs and vascular structures, this book is an essential book in your library.Transducer placement and corresponding sonographic anatomy is outlined in a clear and concise format. Vascular anatomy is well illustrated. The quality of images is excellent and is cross referenced with a schematic image.My major criticism is outlining the keys to anatomy at the start of the chapter, as opposed to being key on its respective page. However, this does not detract from this books utility.I highly recommend this book.

I am totally disappointed in the purchase of this book. I needed a guide to help me with anatomy & location of landmarks while scanning. I come from a nonmedical background so have been playing catch-up to the other students in my ultrasound program. The book is confusing with no guide to tell you how to use it. The key to the scans for the identity of specific parts/organs should be on the same page--not in some distant location where you have to keep flipping back & forth everytime you need to identify something. But, worst of all, is that the information given is incorrect.Yes, the actual US images are good--but since they are mislabeled, it is confusing & hurts the sonographer instead of educating them. I went to several sonographers, as well as the head of my program, & asked them to look at the book. I doubted myself when I saw mislabeled areas in the key for the scans. The incorrect labeling is present throughout the book. Everyone confirmed that the key was grossly inaccurate &, even it that hadn't been the case, was very hard to follow because of where the editor chose to put the key & with no instructions on how to use it.For a student on an extremely limited budget, this was a waste of money for me. No longer will I buy a book unless I can actually browse through it to see if the facts are correct. In order to get any use out of this book, I'll have to go to other textbooks & sonographers so I can hand label CORRECTLY the areas on the scans. The problem is, I was relying on this book to provide that information for me instead of vice versa!

I recommend this book to a beginner sonographer. It assists students by clearly labeling anatomy on both ultrasound images and accompanying diagrams that are located next to the ultrasound images. This book has assisted me in learning clinical anatomy. The diagrams really help. The only problem with this book is the fact that the diagrams are labeled with numbers and the captions/descriptions of what the numbers mean is located on a separate page. This causes the reader to keep having to turn back to the captions page if they don't know what organ they are looking at in the images. The book is organized into separate sections "pancreas, gall bladder, vessels, liver etc". The price also is a bonus. It is well worth it!

Color Atlas of Ultrasound Anatomy is a good book, when starting to do abdominal ultrasound scans. However it soon becomes quite useless, when you get some experience. But after that it can still be used for checking the normal dimensions of anatomical structures. I was disappointed that the book doesn't really help you locate the bile duct, even though that is one of the big challenges to me. Overall a good guide to ultrasoud anatomy.
