Clinics in Diagnostic Ultrasound. 5. New Techniques and Instrumentation in Ultrasonography. Ed. by P. N. T. Wells and M. C. Ziskin, pp. 245, 1980 (Churchill Livingstone, New York/Edinburgh/London), £12·00. ISBN 0–443–08075–5

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

If a prize were to be given for the most valuable innovation in medical imaging in the twentieth century, ultrasound would be a strong contender just on present performance, and will be stronger still when a variety of current new ideas have had time to bear fruit. This volume on new techniques, edited by two leading figures in the field, should therefore be very welcome. It contains 14 chapters, all by different authors, on topics ranging from ultrasonic computerized tomography to routine preventive maintenance and, it must be said, has the unevenness of approach and quality that so often characterizes a multi-author volume.
