What makes this an exceptionally useful reference tool is the inclusion of chapters beyond the usual day-to-day typical ultrasound examinations. The changing face of modern ultrasound has been carefully included, with chapters based on the dynamic assessment of hernias of the groin and anterior abdominal wall, organ transplantation, the thyroid and parathyroid, MSK techniques and applications, interventional applications in a variety of applications, gastrointestinal, breast, vascular and peritoneal and retroperitoneal ultrasound imaging. — Colin P Griffin, Lead ultrasound practitioner, Royal Liverpool University Hospital
