Includes Appendix and References

This is yet another attempt by me in writing a book. More than three decades
of experience in the field of ultrasound practice prompted me to venture for
this book. I thought that it would be most appropriate to bring out a short
book for the newcomer radiologists, residents in radiodiagnosis, obstetricians
and gynaecologists engaged in practising sonography, who are keen to have
knowledge or who intend to improve their diagnostic capabilities for better
management of patients. This book, I hope, will be able to provide answers to
so many frequently asked questions. Those who are engaged in basic ultrasound can use this concise book to improve their skill and as a ready reference in case of any doubt or when a difficult situation is faced at the time of
conducting the ultrasound examination. This book cannot replace textbooks.
Nonetheless, if only a few feel that they have benefitted by reading this book,
the purpose of bringing out this book will be fulfilled.
