To help medical students, radiology residents, ultrasound technicians, and medical sonographers locate and recognize organs, anatomic landmarks, and their relationships, Block, who works in private practice in Germany, presents an atlas of normal sonographic anatomy of the abdominal and pelvic areas, including vessels and the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands, stomach, bladder, prostate, uterus, and thyroid gland. Each section has illustrations that demonstrate the location of the transducer, the resulting sectional image, and labeled drawings of the image and its anatomic structures, along with a diagram showing the location of the scanning plane in the organ. This edition has new illustrations and a new series of images. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
