Thankfully, Sonography: Introduction to Normal Structure and Function, 6th Edition, provides the firm grounding in normal anatomy and physiology that you need from an ultrasound perspective. This highly visual text uses a wealth of ultrasound images accompanied by labeled drawings with detailed legends to increase your 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.
