Clinical Guide to Sonography Exercises for Critical Thinking

<p>"I really like the design and clinical focus of this book and believe that it will stimulate critical thinking among its transatlantic target audience" (Hazel Edwards, Senior Sonographer, Lister Hospital, Stevenage)</p> <p>Organized by clinical problem rather than by body system, <b><i>Clinical Guide to Sonography</b></i> enables you to quickly find information related to the symptom being reported by the patient. This unique format covers various pathologies that may be related to a patient's symptoms, and features illustrations and sonograms that demonstrate each pathology. The book is divided into five major sections: abdomen, obstetrics, gynecology, superficial structures, and a miscellaneous section to include pediatric and vascular clinical indications. Each chapter within those sections focuses on a clinical indication, and incorporates background information, a clinical scenario, discussions of pathologies and differential diagnoses, illustrations, sonograms, patient scenarios with multiple choice and case-based questions to ensure you have a solid understanding of the material.</p> <p>"This book covers a wide range of ultrasound examinations looking at the clinical question first." <b>Reviewed by:</b> Allison Harris, Clinical Co-Ordinator, City University London, <b>Date:</b> Oct 14</p> <p>"I really like the design and clinical focus of this book and believe that it will stimulate critical thinking among its transatlantic target audience.
