I have been a student in the sonography program at UAMS for over a year now and have 2 semesters left and I have to say this is the first book I have bought that I will look at again after the registary is over. I like that it is written in such a laid back tone that I read it with out a dictionary. I hope Ridgway writes more books that students can read.

Excellent however there is a But by sonographer

Superb resource and I would agree with Don's own self review except for my two nits: First, it needs a better binding than the horrendous glue job that the Davies' printer provides. The pages fall out quickly. Second, we need an update edition which rearranges the illustrations and plates to be more useful. This would be an enormous improvement for learning and using the text "on the job". Perhaps, if it was printed with a quality ring-type (or smyth-sewn) binding with more color plates and illustrations that are facing on opposite pages to the relevant text when opened flat, then both of my requests for improving this great resource for vascular technologists would be met.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD BOOK FOR THE BEGINNERS, AND I DONT RECOMMEND PEOPLE TO BUY IT. I LOST $70 FOR NOTHING.

Great introduction by Carl R. Feind (Cape Cod, MA USA)

As a cardiologist with an interest in vascular imaging, this was a very good introduction. I appreciated the colloquial style and illustrations. The only critisism would be the absence of any mention of variations caused by vascular pathology

This book is an absolute must have for anyone in the field--not just for beginners. Donald Ridgway just has a way of explaining the vascular system & scanning techniques like no other. I understand the vascular system & I learned how to scan (pretty much on my own) thanks to his book. Very helpful. Great humor. I hope Donald Ridgway writes a guide for abdominal & ob/gyn scanning in the near future.
