Diagnostic-Imaging Books

This is an excellent ultrasound book which covers the basics of ultrasound very clearly.
I have no prior experience to ultrasound but has basic math and physics knowledge. This book is an excellent book for undergraduates going into the field of ultrasound imaging. It deals with the physics behind ultrasound and also the basic principle of ultrasound imaging.

This is an excelent book covering the major stroke syndromes in a clear and concise fashion. Its authors are world-recognized authorities and the information supplied is very valuable...

I have worked in the field of volumetric images / medical image analysis for last 5years. This book is a bible for anyone in this field. Surprising not many in my field know about this book. I like several things about the book

1. The author writes to the point.
2. A very simple presentation, make it very easy to understand, even for someone who is reading about a new concept for the first time from this book
3. Does not dwell too much into math, but explains how the why the techniques presented work
4. Excellent collection of references
5. A wide variety of topics are covered.

In sum, a very easy read. Probably a high school kid will be able to understand most of the stuff in this book, but imparts enough information that you can pick up any of the 3D volumetric image analysis research papers and understand most parts of the paper. And I should also mention, unlike a lot of other books, this book is refreshingly thin

The traffic of tools and ideas between mathematics on the one side, and the aplied sciences and engineering, on the other, is a win-win-proposition;-- and this lovely book is a great testament to the benefit to medicine and biology from taking this seriously. Imaging, X-ray, tomography, multiscale analysis, and frequency subband filtering are now making their mark. The striking sucess, and the impact of the mathematical ideas, rely on having great books, like the present one, around. The public benefits from this;-- and mathematics does as well, twofold,--both from the inspiration, and from the ideas that are dictated from applications.

When I bought this book, I had received a ++ screening test for chromosomal abnormality through an early ultrasound. I looked in ALL of the standard pregnancy books fora mention of this protocol ~ none did. It is a new protocol, and somewhat rare, but that makes it all the more frightening. This book helped me to familiariaze myself with the tests and their implications. I suppose nobody "wants" tohave to buy a book like this, but at a scary, confusing time, it was extremely helpful

This workbook & study guide is the best to use together along with its parent text. You can use it to test yourself and to see how much you really understood the content you just have learned.

i never found something like this. it's very good! how do you get the ide.?

Finally, an educational resource for non-radiology professionals (nurse practitioners, etc) that teaches how to order radiology exams! It is so hard to find this kind of information anywhere else. The pictures are great but the information is priceless.

This is a great book if you want the technical side of giving birth. I originally bought the book to give to a young mother to help her understand what to expect in regards to weight gain, nutrition, how she will know she is going into labor, etc. This book does not go into these things, however, it was a beautifully illustrated book for someone that is going into the medical field of birthing. So I did give it to my daughter and she found it fascinating.

I purchased this book in 2003 for my, then 13, year old nephew. His mother raised him by telling him the formal (not slang) names for his body parts. It was a great book for him, as kids like picture books. He looked at it and read more and more of it as he got a bit older. He already knew much of the information inside of the book; however, there is a difference in hearing than there is in seeing.

Every expectant mother should see this book from conception all the way through. I wish I could have seen this when I had my two sons years ago. The illustrations are truly amazing. This is a wonderful book.

I hesitated to buy this book because I heard some of the negative reviews, such as "the Nielson book is better" and "the images are fake, clay". However, I found it is more MUCH more informative and interesting than "A Child Is Born". It is modern, cleverly written, and really worthwhile as a coffe table book or baby shower gift. The format of the book is mostly photograph/art, with small paragraphs of information. My husband has been reading this book about what is happening to the baby every morning at breakfast, because it is written day by day, which is different than most pregnacy guides. It is free from advice, it is only factual.

As a first time 'mom-to-be', this book was pretty interesting to look at, to see what's going on inside my body so early in my pregnancy. Ususally books on this subject focus on a more developed fetus, so book is good for me, for the time being. I do feel, however, that a different book will need to be purchased for the later months in the pregnancy, as the last trimester is barely discussed.

Great for the first 2 trimesters, though!

The book I ordered arrived within the given date stated and was in excellent condition. I would purchase books from this seller again. Thanks!

This book is useless. I only bought it for school and once I was able to sell I back I ran this thing back to the book store to get rid of it.

As usual, the book I purchased "Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic & Laboratory Tests" arrived right on time, in perfect condition. Amazon has a tremendous selection, fair pricing with the ability to purchase "used" books. I have purchased "used" books and have been totally satisfied and the description that is given about the condition of the books is an added bonus!!
Thank you Amazon.com for all of your services!!

I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law who is graduating from medical school in May. He requested this book. When it arrived, I started looking through it and found it very interesting and easy to understand even though I have no medical background. If you're looking for something that explains medical tests, this is very clear and informative and since doctors themselves use it, I would assume it is accurate.

I purchased this book after looking at a friend's copy. Its great for figuring out what test results actually mean (especially for CBCs and BMPs). It breaks down every test, what its used for, when to order it - and what it means when high or low. Great reference for anyone in the medical field.
ps -I saw 3 copies of this book in the ICU the other day...
