This is the kind of book Sonographers keep in their departments; a Bible of sorts for when you get stuck! It's entirely user friendly, has lots of good quality images to refer to and even has a section on the clinical management of a patient after your findings have been delivered - something not found in many ultrasound textbooks.
The book is divided into 9 main sections, from equipment, technique, anatomy and physiology, common pathologies, the acute patient, fertility, paediatrics and clinical management. Each of these chapters explains normal, then abnormal (with pictures) and some of the diagnostic dilemmas you might come across.
Perhaps my only complaint is that the images are sometimes quite small; they are of a good quality (good enough to see finer details anyway) but because they're not always large images this can make the detail of a pathology more tricky to visualise. Having said this, most of the pathologies demonstrated are quite apparent so it doesn't always matter.
This is largely what I would consider an introductory text because of the basic information inside, however, a great deal of detail has actually been included behind most pathologies or just the normal anatomy - more so than would be expected from an introductory text - so this is a great book for beginners, but also for anyone looking to enhance their understanding a little deeper. An ideal textbook to have on standby whilst scanning.
