Spanning a wide range of medical specialties and practice settings, Diagnostic Ultrasound, 6th Edition, provides complete, detailed information on the latest techniques for ultrasound imaging of the whole body; image-guided procedures; fetal, obstetric, and pediatric imaging; and much more. This thoroughly revised, two-volume set, edited by Drs. Carol M. Rumack and Deborah Levine, remains the most comprehensive and authoritative ultrasound resource available. Up-to-date guidance from experts in the field keep you abreast of expanding applications of this versatile imaging modality and help you understand the "how" and "why" of ultrasound use and interpretation.

  • Covers all aspects of diagnostic ultrasound with sections for Physics; Abdominal, Pelvic, Small Parts, Vascular, Obstetric, and Pediatric Sonography. 

  • Contains 5,000 images throughout, including 2D and 3D imaging as well as the use of contrast agents and elastography. 

  • Includes a new section on setting up a contrast lab for clinical practice and a new chapter on hemodialysis. 

  • Features new coverage of the parotid, salivary, and submandibular glands, as well as the retroperitoneum, which now includes a section on endoleaks with ultrasound contrast. 

  • Uses a straightforward writing style and extensive image panels with correlative findings. 

  • Includes 400 video clips showing real-time scanning of anatomy and pathology. 

  • An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.

Carol Rumack, MD, is Professor of Radiology and Pediatrics at the University of Colorado, School of Medicine in Aurora, Colorado. She is widely published, and her research centers on neonatal sonography of high risk infants, particularly the brain. Dr Rumack is gradually transitioning off the project and the lead editor on the revision will be Dr Deborah Levine.
Deborah Levine, MD, is Vice Chair of Academic Affairs in the Department of Radiology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston. Dr Levine's clinical experience is in obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound, and her research is focused on fetal MRI imaging. She is an American College of Radiology Chancellor, Chair of the American College of Radiology Commission on Ultrasound, and a fellow of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and the Society of Radioloigists in Ultrasound.
