"Since the publication of the 4th edition of Appleton and Lange's Review for the Ultrasonography Examination, there have been many additional refinements in the applications of sonography. This new and updated 5th edition has been extensively revised to include more comprehensive material and instrumentation and contains chapters including 3D OB/GYN sonography, pediatric sonography, and breast sonography. In addition, the physics and instrumentation and vascular sonography chapters have been revised to current knowledge in order to better prepare candidates for the ARDMS board examinations. Hundreds of ultrasound images, including color Doppler is now included to assist the sonographer in visualizing pathologic conditions. This text contains 16 chapters with new enhanced color illustrations relevant anatomic information. The rapid expansion and evolution of sonographic techniques and their clinical applications requires that sonographers continually update, expand and enhance their clinical skills. Sonographers now routinely perform 3D sonography, duplex and color Doppler studies, and detailed examinations of the fetus and pelvic organs, and they provide vitally important guidance for interventional procedures using sonography. This rapid pace of innovation makes our field exciting and rewarding and, at the same time, demands that sonographers constantly improve their scanning skills. It is the intention of this book to enable both students as well as "young" and experienced sonographers to enhance their knowledge base. Accordingly, it is much more than a study guide directed solely at passing a one-time test. It also provides a basis for the continuous study of diagnostic sonography"-- Provided by publisher.
