Clinical Diagnostic Ultrasound

G. M. Baxter and P. L. P. Allan are the authors of Clinical Diagnostic Ultrasound, 2nd Edition, published by Wiley.

"It is a testament to the British contribution to diagnostic ultrasound and provides a historical perspective and solid grounding in the subject for trainee radiologists. With foundations for a standard British textbook of diagnostic ultrasound now laid, it should be possible to produce an expanded second edition with a much shorter gestation period. This would be received even more favourable". British Medical Journal "This is an excellent and comprehensive text book of ultrasound, 600 pages long, with excellent binding and high quality paper and prints" Irish Medical Journal. "All in all, this is a definitive one volume exposition of the present situation in the use of ultrasound in clinical diagnosis, and the only drawback with the book is the price. However, it would be an essential addition to any library of any practitioner or diagnostic ultrasound at the present time. It is very good for the learner, for the sonographer and the practising radiologist. In two words, highly recommended"Australasian Radiology"For those teaching the physics and technology of ultrasound, the book will provide a useful insight into the full range of clinical areas that students will be studying".
