Ultrasound for Medical Education and Primary Care

A practical guide to clinical ultrasonography

As medical schools integrate ultrasound into pre-clinical curricula, students and clinicians need teaching materials designed specifically for educational settings. Ultrasound for Medical Education and Primary Care addresses this gap through collaboration among ultrasound specialists, biomedical engineers, medical educators, and students from multiple institutions. This learner-focused textbook delivers accessible content distinct from resources designed for radiologists or sonographers. Each chapter uses clear text, annotated images, tables, and review questions to guide image acquisition and interpretation, so the content supports both initial learning and continuing clinical practice.
