Review

From the reviews:

“The book is very well organized, and the coverage of common disease entities is clear and succinct. It is richly illustrated and uses all of the current imaging modalities. … it will be of great benefit to the advanced medical student and resident trainee in a specialty other than radiology who is particularly interested in abdominal diseases. It also belongs in the teaching library of every medical school and institution of postgraduate training.” (Bharat Raval, Radiology, Vol. 267 (3), June, 2013)

“This book in its 256 pages is intended to give the reader a review of cases devoted to abdominal imaging, addressing in ten sections … . Ten cases have been chosen for each section, simple as well as complicated or unusual cases highlighting the topic, cases which should and could be of practical use to both physicians in training as well as expert radiologists. … a useful book to be at hand in daily practice.” (G. Beluffi, La radiologia medica, Vol. 118, 2013)

“Learning Abdominal Imaging is a concise guide to recognizing the essential elements of abdominal CT and MRI images for a fast and accurate diagnosis. … Written mainly for beginners to the field of image interpretation … . Clinicians new to interpretation of abdominal images will find this to be a concise and highly informative resource. … Gastroenterologists, emergency medicine physicians, primary care practitioners and others who require a working knowledge of abdominal imaging in their daily practice should read this book.” (Medical Science Books, May, 2012)

Practical Guide to Emergency Ultrasound 1st Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=0781778581]

Featuring over 700 illustrations, this book is a practical, visual guide to performing and interpreting ultrasound and using ultrasound findings for making clinical decisions in the emergency department. Consistently formatted chapters cover both common and less common uses of ultrasound in the emergency department. Each chapter includes clinical applications, anatomy and landmarks, image acquisition, pathology, clinical decision making, incidental findings, and clinical examples.

High-quality images include patient photographs demonstrating the correct probe placement and large ultrasound images allowing findings to be easily seen. Labels on ultrasound scans and side-by-side anatomic drawings help readers locate the key parts of all images.

I find this textbook is consistently well written with well-organized chapters. Among the references for emergency ultrasound, it stands out by having tons of high quality real images and excellent schematic diagrams to illustrate important anatomy. I also find particularly helpful the pitfalls section of each chapter. Overall, I highly recommend this reference as a standard for every ED and residency program.

Echocardiography: A Practical Guide for Reporting and Interpretation, Third Edition 3rd Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=1482231921]

Echocardiography: A Practical Guide for Reporting and Interpretation is a step-by-step guide to clinical echocardiography.

This new edition has been extensively revised and includes new international guidelines, grading criteria and normal data. The book presents an up-to-date discussion of echocardiography use in both acute and critical care settings and provides increased guidance for clinical interpretation, including how echocardiography can help inform surgical decisions. In addition, the content has been extended, particularly in the consideration of valve disease and cardiomyopathies.

Providing a pragmatic approach to clinical echocardiography, the book also covers examples of conditions requiring urgent clinical advice. It contains a summary of formulae as well as supporting online images and videos.

Review

“My interpretation is that the authors have clearly achieved their ambition to produce a small but comprehensive, inexpensive practical and reference aid for Echocardiographers of all grades of experience. I consider that this book should be available within all Echo departments and additionally I strongly recommend all Echocardiographers to have their own personal copy.” – Dr Gordon Williams, BSE Newsletter

“Technological advances and broadened knowledge about the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases have made echocardiography a very important part of the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disorders. This book differs from the classic textbooks and instead is an easy-to-read, step-by-step guidebook. It will serve as a valuable resource when echocardiographers need quick and practical information.” –  Ahmet Afsin Oktay, MD(Ochsner Clinic Foundation), Doody Enterprises
