“Introduction to Sonography and Patient Care is a comprehensive, well-written book that covers basic information needed by student sonographers and includes topics not included by similar textbooks. Each chapter flows into the next logically, making it easy to read and to locate information quickly. It is a good reference for its intended audience: the student sonographer.

Medical imaging program educators might find this a good resource for the ethics, career exploration, leadership, student success, and communication sections. Practicing sonographers might find it a useful quick reference for keeping their skills current.”

Thank you for your interest in Introduction to Sonography and Patient Care.  This book was written to provide the sonography student an overview of the sonography profession and basic patient care.  As a sonographer, I greatly value the goals of the sonography student, and as an educator, I felt that it was my obligation to try to write a book that helped portray the vital role that sonographers play in health care today.

Consequently, this book contains valuable information concerning the history of the profession, ethics, ergonomics, and the importance of critical thinking and professionalism.  My hope is that this book helps provide the user with both an appreciation of clinical sonography, and a reminder to always place the patient’s welfare first.
