**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine**

Written by one of the pioneers of the use of ultrasound to guide needle placement, Dr. Andrew T. Gray’s Atlas of Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia, 4th Edition, remains the reference of choice for clinicians who use ultrasound-guided technology to administer regional blocks. Step-by-step videos and images, board-style review questions, and discussions of new blocks make this highly respected title a must-have reference for anesthesiologists, pain medicine specialists, nurse anesthetists, and emergency physicians-anyone who requires expert guidance on the latest methods to ensure safe and effective needle placement.
    • Helps ensure correct needle placement with numerous 3-D and long-axis views that clearly depict surrounding structures.
    • Contains nine new chapters: Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Ultrasound; PENG Block; iPACK Block; External Oblique Intercoastal (EOI) Block; Serratus Anterior Plane Block; Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block; Suprazygomatic Maxillary Nerve Block; Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Cryoneurolysis for Acute Pain; Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia.
    • Includes numerous high-quality anatomy illustrations, photographs demonstrating patient positioning, and ultrasound images demonstrating anatomy and needle placement.
    • Features an expanded video collection with step-by-step guidance of ultrasound-guided techniques, including video flips for PENG, rectus sheath, maxillary nerve, sciatic nerve blocks, and more.
    • Includes newly revised, board-style review questions to help test your knowledge and prepare you for the ABA exam.
