Obstetric Ultrasound Made Easy
This book will take the reader through obstetric ultrasound in a logical and progressive manner starting with simple scans to more detailed and complicated one that would be encountered as the sonographer/doctor gains experience. Each subsection has a scan and a black and white picture with accompanying information on measurement or abnormality. All topics are written in a step by step and 'active', (do this then do this) style.

For what is basically a pocket text, this book is absolutely brilliant. So much is condensed into this small book and actually, very little is missing considering that. The book covers the basics of obs and gynae sonography, from probe position to orientation of baby, but also looks at common pathologies, invasive procedures and fertility as well.
The detail is limited of course, this is more of an image driven text with good sized, clear images with useful annotations to help illustrate what some of the common normal and abnormal findings are in obs and gynae scanning; an ideal text to have on hand in a clinical setting!
Something this book does which many other similar textbooks sometimes don't offer, is that there are ultrasound images provided alongside diagrams or drawings to help break down what you might be looking at on the scan. This is particularly helpful for cranial anatomy, in which quite a few structures are expected to be measured and identified; for a beginner this is absolutely brilliant and a good enough reason in itself to have this book to hand.
Which of course means, for more advanced sonographers or obstetricians most definitely, this book is quite limited. It's a useful quick reference text for basic refreshers, but anything any more detailed than this would not be found here. Equally, once you're a competent scanner with knowledge of anatomy and common pathologies of the uterus, ovaries and fetus, this text will become quickly redundant. A thought for a more suitable library loan perhaps in the initial period of training rather than a long term investment textbook.
