“Editors have produced a book that discusses all things relevant and important to pediatric ultrasound use currently, either in the radiology suite or the operative suite. … The book is lucid, heavily illustrated, clearly and completely marked for clear interpretation so it can be read and understood by students, fellows, residents, and practicing pediatric care givers. It is an excellent primer on what one should expect as ultrasonic support for the care of children.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2016)
