Clinical Guide to Sonography: Exercises for Critical Thinking [Paperback]

I really like the design and clinical focus of this book and believe that it will stimulate critical thinking among its transatlantic target audience (Hazel Edwards, Senior Sonographer, Lister Hospital, Stevenage)

Organized by clinical problem rather than by body system, Clinical Guide to Sonography enables you to quickly find information related to the symptom being reported by the patient. This unique format covers various pathologies that may be related to a patient's symptoms, and features illustrations and sonograms that demonstrate each pathology. The book is divided into five major sections: abdomen, obstetrics, gynecology, superficial structures, and a miscellaneous section to include pediatric and vascular clinical indications. Each chapter within those sections focuses on a clinical indication, and incorporates background information, a clinical scenario, discussions of pathologies and differential diagnoses, illustrations, sonograms, patient scenarios with multiple choice and case-based questions to ensure you have a solid understanding of the material.

This book covers a wide range of ultrasound examinations looking at the clinical question first. Reviewed by: Allison Harris, Clinical Co-Ordinator, City University London, Date: Oct 14
