It's OK but could have been much better (2009-09-01)

This book covers a lot of material. It could have been great though with a few changes. Every diagram, sonogram, etc. should have been properly labeled and included the position of the transducer and notch location. This is supposed to be a beginning text. By properly labeling things the student can better learn how the image was made and then practice doing it in the lab. Instead, students are required to just memorize the diagrams. In addition there are some blatent mistakes in the text and discriptions of some of the images. This can be really confusing to new students. Text books need to be 100% correct. This is also an anthology with different chapters being written by different authors. This results in differences in writing styles and the depth of subjects being covered.

Great book! (2006-05-26)

This book is an awesome resourse for someone who is just begining to learn ultrasound and need an overview of how the normal structures look like. It is very simple, consize, and easy to understand. IMHO the best feature this book has is the drawing of the visualized structures clearly marked, conveniently located right next to the actual sonographic image for comparison.

The Right Order: Normal Anatomy First (2005-09-19)

I believe a sound foundation in normal anatomy and physiology is the best course of study for the begininning sonography student. The textbook is clear, thorough and concise, and as a student who will be graduating next month, I highly recommend this book. I didn't find it until recently; I wish I had learned of this book earlier in my studies. Information on pathology would have been easier to absorb with a better foundation initially.

Intro to Vascular Ultrasonography 5th ed. (2010-05-28)

Exactly the reference I needed!!! As a general sonographer looking for a thorough vascular reference book, I needed something that I could keep in my library for future reference yet use as a study tool for the vascular registry. I felt this book was exactly what I was looking for. I know plenty of vascular techs who start their careers with this book and feel it is essential to any vascular tech's library.

A great Resource for the Vascular Medicine Physician (2009-01-26)

I have purchased this book and read it few times over the last 5 years. I use it primarily as a text book to refer to for the RVS, RVT, RPVI exam. there has allot of books about vascular US since this book was written but none as authoritative or complete.

If you are a practicing physician involved in the field of vascular US this book is a must. some of the vascular technicians I worked with found it a great aid.

If you are studying for a vascular US exam this book is great but it is ot the only book you need as it doesn't cover vascular US physics in depth.

Very comprehensive (2010-05-18)

Excellent resource for students learning the field of ultrasonography. Text is very easy to read and understand and is filled with many images to assist in the learning process. Certainly a must for every sonographer's library.

Don't buy it! (2009-07-21)

There are way better books out there for the price. The text contradicts itself numerous times, it is hard to use this book as a self study tool.You have to have an instructor at all times to make corrections and guide you through it. I had it as a student in school, and was constantly refering to different sources. Don't waste your money!

diagnostically? very good (2009-02-18)

This book is easy to read, has many illustrations, photos of actual ultrasounds and when paired with the workbook of the same name, is a great learning tool. I am thinking of keeping mine to help teach( non-ultrasound) anatomy and physiology.

Good textbook, but double-check info (2006-05-22)

This is a good textbook if you have other resources available to double-check the information. The main problem I found with this book is that it tends to contradict itself, which can be quite frustrating for a student who is preparing for a test. For instance, the text will tell you that a certain condition usually presents as a single lesion, but the table right next to it says that same condition usually presents as a multiple lesion. This doesn't happen all the time, but it is more often than I would expect for a textbook.

Also, if you are an instructor wishing to use the multiple-choice questions from the test-bank, make sure to review the answer key. Sometimes the answer given as correct it just completely wrong.

Great Textbook for Diagnostic Ultrasonography (2001-07-18)

I have read the previous edition of this book. Compare the fourth edition, several improvements have been made in this edition: Each chapter begins with a list of key terms and definitions. Color illustrations and layout are used. A lot of new ultrasound images are added and the qualities of these images are much better. The text has been retrenched. Important points are put in tables for differentiation. Even there are still a few mistakes in this edition, I believe this is a great book.

In the past five years, the development of new imaging technologies that make possible faster and more accurate diagnoses has significantly improved the imaging of disease and injury. This new edition of Squire's Fundamentals of Radiology describes and illustrates these new techniques to prepare medical students and other radiology learners to provide the most optimal and up-to-date imaging management for their patients. Not only are new diagnostic techniques outlined, such as the multidetector computed tomography diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and the diffusion-weighted magnetic-resonance imaging of stroke, but hundreds of new diagnostic images have been included to illustrate the radiological characteristics of common diseases with state-of-the-art computed radiography, ultrasound, multidetector computed tomography, and magnetic-resonance images. The text has been completely reviewed and updated to present the latest and best strategies in diagnostic imaging.

New interventional radiology procedures have been added, including vertebroplasty, a percutaneous injection treatment of painful spinal compression fractures; uterine artery embolization, a surgical alternative to hysterectomy in women with painful or bleeding uterine fibroids; and radiofrequency ablation, a percutaneous technique for treating unresectable tumors in the liver and other organs with probes that superheat and thus destroy cancer cells.

A new chapter on advances in diagnostic imaging describes many cutting-edge imaging technologies, such as three-dimensional and digital imaging, functional magnetic-resonance imaging, PET-CT (positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography), cardiac calcium CT scoring, multidetector gated cardiac CT, and molecular imaging.

Teaches the basics (2010-05-04)

A great book to get your foot in the door with radiology. The author writes in a simplistic manner making it quite easy to read passively. There are a number of questions posed throughout the book that stimulate critical thinking, and the images in the book are descent. It tends to read very quickly even though it looks rather thick in appearance. Overall, the book does a great job of giving a medical student the kind of radiology education that he should have formally had while in medical school. So by the time that you have read this book, you should feel more confident in your ability to approach a chest x-ray and diagnose a number of common aliments: pneumonia, pneumothorax, atelectasis, etc. Additionally, you should be much more familiar with what kinds of radiographic tests available and how you should use them, even if you may not understand all of the minor nuances of each test. However, let me state very clearly that this book will bring you no where near the level of complexity that a radiologist or a radiology resident should understand the subject matter. Its weakness lies in its simplicity. It does a great job of giving examples and explaining fundamentals, but there are far too few of them to make you proficient in reading an x-ray. The moral here is that you should not anticipate this book turning you into a radiologist, but it does a superb job of fulfilling its purpose: teaching the fundamentals.

Good intro book for radiology (2010-02-16)

Good book for students interested in radiology or for residents in other fields doing a radiology rotation. Decent pictoral examples. Well written book to learn radiology from.

Great Introduction for third year medical students! (2009-07-01)

Radiology was my first rotation of my third year and this book was fantastic at prepping a "green" clinical student. Many of the main ideas were later stated nearly verbatim by my preceptor. It's lacking a bit on the physics of the different methodologies but for a medical student, this is a great start! It's a quick and easy read with plenty of illustrations and I used it as a adjunct to his teaching on a daily basis.

good for radiology staff (2008-09-28)

This book is handy to my coworkers. just a review of what to look for with certain diagnoses radiologists tell their patients.

PICTURES WERE OKAY (2007-09-18)

Review by a medical student interested in Radiology

This book is good if you want a starter to book for radiographic images that encompasses a variety of fields of film study. It was an easy read for each chapters, but way too basic, the author rambles as if you're a 6th grader. So, I only suggest this book if you want only pictures to get an idea of what radiographic films show for some common pathology. The book started with the OVER-SIMPLIFIED anatomy with comparison to the radiographic images. You will need a better book for a more in-depth review of Radiology. There is hardly anything on Neuroradiology, IR, flouroscopy, etc. It was only SLIGHTLY useful for my General Radiology rotation. Plus, most hospitals usually has this book in their library, may be an edition older though.

One think that bothered me about the illustrations were that the lesions were usually not labeled, they were just discussed or mentioned within the illustration's caption or the chapter explanation. The book is pricey for what it contains. It should be worth $40 or less!

Very good purchase (2010-07-01)

I like very much Dr. Otto's books. She was in Brazil last month and I saw her new book. I decided to buy it by the Amazon because I recieved it in my place; I can paid by credit card; and I have an account with this sote that is working well so far.

Very helpful extra book. (2007-01-03)

It is always OK to use more than one book for study of a subject but for ECHO Feigenbaums is the bible. The 6th edition is a great book and DVD-ROM. Recommended for all levels of echocardiologists.

Ottos book is a helpful extra book. If you want to stick to one book get Feigenbaum's.

CV Anesthesiologist (2006-11-03)

Well written and easy to understand. Many TTE references are less useful to a beginner in TEE without much TTE experience.

useful but waiting for the new edition (2000-07-09)

I found this book is useful for all the cardiology trainee as it is well written, easy to understood and there is many figures. However, it did not mention the new technology in the field of echocardiography such as the tissue doppler, contrast echo. I hope the next edition will include this and the illustrations will be more colorful.

Great to have a clear concept of Ultrasound Physics (2002-04-18)

I found this book very understandable and easy in the sense that it describes most of the physical principles in detail and with equation which some other authors lack. Though it's not so easy to read at once or showing not only definations but also descriptions of topics which makes it more to understand instead of just memorizing the things and that is the most important thing I found in it

An introductory textbook on medical ultrasound (2001-04-18)

I actually came across Professor Kremkau's textbook accidentally, when I was looking for some not too dated text on the physics of medical ultrasound. Although it was obviously aimed at a practicing ultrasonographer preparing for some ARDMS or ARRT exam rather than a physicist trying to brush up his knowledge of medical ultrasound, it proved to be a valuable source of relatively recent information on the current state of the area.

The textbook starts with an overview of the basic physics of waves and ultrasound, proceeds to the transducers and beam shape, and continues to the computer technology used for imaging. Next comes a chapter on the Doppler effect, being followed by a discussion on spectral analysis. A synthesis of these two techniques is the color Doppler imaging, and an entire chapter is devoted on the recent techniques like Color Doppler and Color Power Doppler. The textbook is concluded by a chapter discussing the artifacts, and finally a chapter on performance and safety.

The style is highly readable, although the text is somewhat repetitive. One striking observation - for a physicist at least - is that professor Kremkau denies the efforts spent in inventing a readable representation of mathematical relations over the past 500 years or so, and has invented his own system. So instead of the usual "wavelength equals propagation speed divided by frequency" written in mathematical symbols, we see frames like "frequency UP, wavelength DOWN" throughout the book. Strange, and probably not particularly efficient.

Each chapter is accompanied by a list of over 100 questions, and the answers are provided at the end of the book after the summary chapter. Each chapter also contains a small handy glossary. The book is lavishly illustrated and has a useful index, while the list of references is not particularly impressive.

Book fell apart with in a few months:{ (2010-06-16)

Our class bought this book in Jan 2010 and by May it was falling apart. I have many textbooks and this is the only one that has ever fallen apart so fast. Our class has to glue this book back together and will not be able to resell do to the condition.
There are SO many errors in this book and am still confused as to how it made it to college bookstores. The review questions and answers do not match and when they do, some give a incorrect answers. Pictures for the protocol were labeled incorrectly and I was advised that some of the organs protocol pictures were wrong; even for a "standard". Very disappointed in Mrs. Temkin (She used to run our highly respected sonography program in Florida). I feel we are owed our money back.


Content great, binding? Not so much (2010-04-11)

I was excited to see an updated version of this essential textbook, and while I'm pleased with the content and find the protocol drawings and images very helpful, the binding on this book -- as mentioned by another reviewer -- is terrible. After less than a half-semester's use, the first 150 pages or so are completely loose and out of the book. I'd have been better off just pulling everything out and putting it in a three-hole binder. There are special textbook-quality bindings out there, and I'd gladly pay extra for it given that I'd like to hold onto this text for a few years but, sadly, it doesn't appear to be offered by Saunders/Elsevier in this case.

Fantastic (2010-02-26)

This book is fantastic. I am only starting out my studies as a sonographer and found this book very useful. It provides a concise summary of the general scanning principles & methods and for each region of the body broke it down into anatomy, physiology, sonographic appearance, patient position, transducer etc. Very good summary - detailed enough that you get the information required, but not overly wordy. It covers it all, very concisely. Well written & easy to understand. I found this book very handy and complimented my other texts book very well. I would highly recommend it to students and as a reference for qualified sonographers.

It was a super fast service for me to get the book i ordered. Unfortunately, i mistakenly ordered the different version of the book, they reponded so quick by email and let me return it. The only problem was all the reply emails were sent to my SPAM MAILBOX automatically. I didn't found out the problem, until I thought they hadn't get back to me for 1-2 weeks but they actually did a good job, quick responds. So, make sure to check tha SPam Mailbox as well.
