Now with hundreds of new images, this core text focuses on the two main divisions within sonography: general/abdominal and obstetric/gynecologic. It also provides coverage of vascular ultrasound and an introduction to echocardiography. While the abdominal and vascular sections are organized by body systems, OB/GYN uses a chronologic approach to development during pregnancy and an anatomic approach to gynecologic pathology. Each chapter covers patient history; normal anatomy, including cross-sectional anatomy; ultrasound techniques; pathology; and related laboratory findings.

• Ultrasound Tips offer practical, easy-to-find information on scanning techniques.
• Full-color presentation includes line art, design, and color scans, enhancing the visual appeal and teaching value of the text.
• Pathology tables present clinical findings, lab findings, sonography findings, and differential considerations.
• Key Terms and Definitions at beginning of each chapter highlight the most important information.
• Chapter Objectives and Review Questions open each chapter, and short-answer and essay questions are provided at the end.
