"What initially makes the book especially attractive is its practical presentation. It is a paperback "flexibook" which constitutes a geniune pocket guide and its design is well adapted: for each organ, ultrasound images are showed on the left-hand page with the corresponding colored explanatory drawings on the right-hand page. These illustrations are accompanied by small drawings demonstrating the location of the transducer on the body and a 3D diagram showing the location of the scanning plane in the organ. The ultrasound images are numerous, all of high quality, and the drawings very clear and pedagogical. In addition, the normal sonographic dimensions of the organs presented in this book are summed up on the fold-out flap inside the front and the back cover, which is very easy-to-use. To conclude, this pleasant, brilliant, richly colored, and well-presented pocket guide is of the greatest interest for learning (and revising) the ultrasound anatomy of the abdomen and the thyroid gland. As a result, it will be of use to the beginners in sonography as well as more experienced radiologists and other physicians dealing with this field of imaging."--Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy "A useful book for beginning sonographers, those preparing for examinations and those involved in teaching student sonographers in the area of abdominal sonography.
