Reading this book is a joy. Chapters are written in a consistent format and style, and the illustrations are simply superb. The scope of figures fare comparably with that of an atlas. The text is very easy to read. However, this book is not best geared for novices. I recommend by Solomon et al. as the entry level text. That text has great explanations on the basics of ultrasound with a rich collection of photos. Most important of all, its last chapter on the interpretation of transesophageal echo boasts an unparalleled panel of illustrations on the myriad planes of images one can acquire. No other text presents this difficult topic better.If you are preparing for the echo board, you may wish to follow this sequence of study:Essential echocardiography -> The echo manual -> Feigenbaum's echocardiography -> Echocardiography review guide
I'm currently a student in cardiac sonography in the rather early phase (as an encore career). At this point, I have read only about 4 chapters of the book. In looking through this book, I can see that it is extremely full of information with lots of technical details. The book pretty much covers everything from A to Z in echocardiography. It includes lots of illustrations and images within the book. In addition, a DVD, included with the hard cover book but not included with the Kindle version (although one can be ordered from the publisher), provides a large set of video clips depicting various techniques and some pathologies.The main issue with the book is that it is not really for beginners - people wading into echocardiography. My classmates are not exactly in love with this book, however, due to its being so heavily detailed. The prevailing view is that the Scott D. Solomon textbook, "Essential Echocardiography" is the more appropriate book for students getting started in this field.For the more advanced echocardiography students and practicing echocardiography professionals, this Feigenbaum book would seem to be appropriate and to be an excellent resource.
Fantastic book. Looking through the book I see that this book is going to help me pass the CCI. The DVD that comes with it is FANTASTIC. The images on the disc and in the book are like being at my internship, but with detailed explanations. It is not advisable to ask questions pertaining to the findings in front of the Patients, so this book covers so many pathies without worrying the patients. I just bought the international version, ABE books for 78, free shipping. It was suppose to be soft cover, but to my surprise it's a HARD cover. Comes with the disc BRAND NEW. It is shipped from India. I received it in FIVE days. It came earlier, I was suppose to get at the end of the month. It is the South Asian Edition, which is just like the US version, but without the HIGH price. This book reminds me of the Echo manual, by Oh MD, Jae K., which is out of print but I found it in perfect condition for 45. Another great book to use for the CCI.just so you know ... Customers located in the US can now purchase international editions ...
I purchased this book in Dec. of 2011 as it was a required text for my Echo Program I began in 2012. It is a very nice hard cover text, which even comes along with a DVD to watch echo clips with text for understanding (that goes along with the pictures in the book, very helpful indeed!). This book is VERY VERY Well DETAILED and is sometimes hard to follow as the vocabulary can become a bit overwhelming. The chapters are very long, however there are lots of images that go along. Of all the books we were required to purchase this book was the most overwhelming as a beginning Echocardiographer, it is also the HEAVIEST! However, it does have an excellent index to help you find anything you may be looking for. It covers many a topics such as: AOV Disease, MV Disease, Hemodynamics, Pericardial Diseases, Physics, Contrast Echo, Echo Exam....etc. Nevertheless as it is a pricey book (All echo books are), it is a good reference and good learning tool to have as it goes very very well in detail, and the C.D. that accompanies it is fantastic bonus to have as well. Seeing the still images in the book help, but it is much better to see the picture moving and in motion to help you recognize seeing it on the screen in real time when you are on your own. I have now graduated and am an Echocardiographer! I will be keeping this book and C.D. for future reference and also to help me study for my boards, and do still believe it was a good book for us students to purchase. ENJOY!
This is a great book for those studying echo and the DVD is the best part. Great book for students and fellows.
A very complete book has great pictures and is very illustrative cd I am sonographer specializing in vascular and echo. Fast shipping
this book is not as dense as i was led to believe it would be. very well written. comprehensive. a great resource
This is a great book. The text is well written, the pictures are crisp and clear for ultrasound images, and the DVD included shows a lot of the images in realtime, making it much easier to study.
