This brilliant pocket guide helps you to grasp the connection between three-dimensional organ systems and their two-dimensional representation in ultrasound imaging. Through dynamic illustrations and clarifying text, it allows you to:

- Recognize, name, and confidently locate all organs, landmarks, and anatomical details of the abdomen
-Examine all standard planes, including transverse and longitudinal scans for regions of sonographic interest (including the thyroid gland)
- Understand topographic relationships of organs and structures in all three spatial planes

This invaluable text is ideal for the beginner, providing a rapid orientation to all key topics. It includes:

- Over 250 fully labeled image quartets, each showing: the preferred location of the transducer on the body; the resulting image; a labeled drawing of the image, keyed to anatomic structures; and a small 3-D drawing showing the location of the scanning plane in the organ.
- Body markers with information on transducer handling and positioning for each sonogram
- Over 250 rules of thumb and key concepts
- All relevant landmarks, measurable parameters, and normal values

Packed with beautiful graphics and precise text, this is the essential resource that anyone involved in ultrasound radiography needs.
