Help students learn how to accurately identify abnormalities in ultrasound images! Sonography: Introduction to Normal Structure and Function, 6th Edition, grounds students in what normal anatomy and physiology look like from an ultrasound perspective, enabling them to better recognize abnormalities. Each chapter begins with coverage of anatomy and physiology followed by a wealth of ultrasound images to visually reinforce concepts and increase students’ comfort with normal anatomy as it appears during scanning. A consistent chapter format also makes the content easy to navigate and reinforces standard protocols for scanning each area of the body.
