From Book News, Inc.
The authors (professors of radiology at Washington U. School of Medicine, Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson U., and Duke U. Medical Center) introduce what they see as the "most important core material in the major clinical applications of ultrasound." Heavily illustrated, the text offers explanations of interpreting ultrasound images in general and vascular medicine, as well as in obstetrics and gynecology. The new edition has been revised with a greater emphasis on the physical principles contributing to images and a replacement of most of the illustrative ultrasound images.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
