Reviews"This is an excellent book that has been written to fill a void, which has existed for too long amongst texts on echocardiography. In the process of it's creation, sole author Bonita Anderson, has made a superlative effort and achieved an admirable resultâ€¦ this publication is not a mere handbook, but a thoroughly researched text, richly referenced and beautifully illustrated. According to the preface, the book has been directed at the cardiac sonographer. The quality, depth and thoroughness of the work, however, justify a recommendation that extends to all medical and paramedical practitioners of echocardiography." -- ASUM (Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine) Bulletin, Volume 3, Number 4 - November, 2000. Written by Christopher Choong. "Echocardiography: The Normal Examination and Echocardiographic Measurements is a systematic and comprehensive book covering the field of transthoracic echocardiographic examinationâ€¦ Easy to read, beautifully illustrated, thoughtfully laid and with good value for money, the book is an excellent acquisition for all echo departmental libraries and can be used as a reference during daily practice." -- British Society of Echocardiography Newsletter, Issue 34 - July, 2000.
