Recenzje

"Culminating in a section on ultrasound safety, the often intimidating topic of 'physics' is well written and, importantly, accessible. ... this text would serve as a detailed bridge for those also experienced in scanning adults ... . this comprehensive reference text is an outstanding resource for all those who want to exploit ultrasound to its maximum capability. The wealth of high quality images and substantive explanations set this text apart in a crowded marketplace." (Amjad Hussain, RAD Magazine, May, 2022)
"This book is truly exhaustive. ... It serves as an excellent review of pediatric conditions from head to toe. ... Few pediatric radiologists can be experts in all areas. This book is a fine supplement to the momentarily lost radiologist. ... I certainly recommend this book to residents and seasoned radiologists. It is a reminder of the value, versatility and strength of an ultrasonic investigation." (Brent H. Adler, Pediatric Radiology, Vol. 52, 2022)
