This is a great book to have for referencing to study the organs of the human body. It has been a great help with helping me to get to know the familiarity of the organs and what good ultrasound pics are. I would recommend this to any Sonography student.

This book is a great reference, especially for students! It is completely thorough and one may quickly reference anything pertaining to imaging protocol. My only complaint would be that it doesn't show where to properly take measurements or place calipers.

awesome book by N. Berdnyk (CA)

If you have the first edition, there's no need to buy the second! by Sonoprof (California, USA)

I liked the first edition, eventhough there were a lot of images that were repeated over and over again(I would give it 4 stars- there are no other books like this that shows all the protocols you need, so I'll give the author credit for that). I bought the new one only to find myself looking at an identical book. There were hardly any added images in the second edition and it's not worth getting. My advice, stick to the first edition if you already have it. Buy the second edition "only" if you don't have the first edition.
