A proven, didactic guide to normal ultrasound anatomy - ideal for the beginning sonographer Color Atlas of Ultrasound Anatomy, Second Edition presents a systematic, step-by-step introduction to normal sectional anatomy of the abdominal and pelvic organs and thyroid gland, essential for recognizing the anatomic landmarks and variations seen on ultrasound. Its convenient, double-page format, with more than 250 image quartets showing ultrasound images on the left and explanatory drawings on the right, is ideal for rapid comprehension. In addition, each image is accompanied by a line drawing indicating the position of the transducer on the body and a 3-D diagram demonstrating the location of the scanning plane in each organ. Special features: More than 60 new ultrasound images in the second edition that were obtained with state-of-the-art equipment for the highest quality resolution A helpful foundation on standard sectional planes for abdominal scanning, with full-color photographs demonstrating probe placement on the body and diagrams of organs shown Front and back cover flaps displaying normal sonographic dimensions of organs for easy reference Covering all relevant anatomic markers, measurable parameters, and normal values, and including both transverse and longitudinal scans, this pocket-sized reference is an essential learning tool for medical students, radiology residents, ultrasound technicians, and medical sonographers.

This is a brilliant pocket book. I recomend it to Radiology residents, Sonographers and students. It is THE book to carry in your pocket when you start scanning. It is organized by organs and vascular structures and it is an essential book to have in your library. It includes longitudinal and transverse cross sections.
Transducer placement and corresponding sonographic anatomy is outlined in a clear and concise format. Vascular anatomy is well illustrated. The quality of image is EXCELLENT and is cross referenced with a schematic image.
A minor critic: the keys to anatomy are placed at the start of the chapter, as opposed to being key on its respective page. This does not detract from this books utility, but can be a little confusing at first.
