Ultrasound: A Core Review covers the most important aspects of ultrasound in a manner that I am confident will serve as a useful guide for residents to assess their knowledge and review the material in a question-style format that is similar to the core examination.

Dr. Ruchi Shrestha and Dr. Ka-Kei Ngan have succeeded in producing a book that exemplifies the philosophy and goals of the Core Review Series. They have done a meticulous job in covering key topics and providing superb images. The multiple-choice questions have been divided logically into chapters so as to make it easy for learners to work on particular topics as needed. Each question has a corresponding answer with an explanation of not only why a particular option is correct but also why the other options are incorrect. There are also references provided for each question for those who want to delve more deeply into a specific subject.
