Diagnostic Ultrasound

I have been in ultrasound for over 20 years. I will ALWAYS buy the new addition of these books. No ultrasound library should be without them. Beautiful images, accurate data and clear text. I love these books!!!

After buying this book, I found that my I will not even be using it in class like I thought it would. But it came in new condition and my instructor says it is a great and helpful book for future sonographers!

There is no issue with the quality of this text-one of the classics of diagnostic ultrasound.However gaining access to the 242 video clips shown in the book is an absolute nightmare. Elsevier has this opaque,time consuming rigamarole to register purchase and to create access to the video clip. Anyone who scans knows how much these clips add to the material presented in the text.Unfortunately,Elsevier has a silly system with a bookscratch code like a lottery ticket,multiple registration pages, all of which fail to permit access. Fill out all the forms then wait several days for a sales rep to call you!! For a book you've already purchased for $320USD???????Pretty sad! As a result- I would have to downgrade Rumacks 4th Ed to a 4 star item. This flaw does reflect directly upon the quality and usefulness of this edition,so long as easy access is blocked from the substantial educational material contained in the innaccesible video clips. Hopefully the editor will find a new publisher more responsive to its customers for the subsequent editions. (I have owned the 1st and 2nd editions of this text,btw.)1/26/12 Update: Interestingly the Feb 2012 RSNA publication RADIOLOGY, also has high praise for the 4th ED, while being critical of the online activation rigamarole . ( [...] ) Subscription required for full review.

The editing of this volume is far superior to previous volumes. The images and added content makes this a must have edition for all ultrasound practice.

The images are very good quality and great for not only my classes but scanning experiences in the clinical setting.

Pages not bind together. Had to bind them myself and it stays. Didn't meet my expectations for how much the books cost

Detailed, concise and solid matrrial.

Got here in great time, best price for a brand new Rumack.
