This superb book is the first sonography text to take an anatomical approach to sonographic applications. Each part of the body receives a chapter of its own, covering its prenatal development, location and size, physiology, gross anatomy, sonographic appearance, normal state, and normal variants as well as common diagnostic tests, laboratory values, measurements, vasculature, and affecting chemicals. The companion EXERCISES IN ULTRASONOGRAPHY uses hands-on activities to reinforce concepts presented in the parent text.
