❌ – If you need every rare syndrome or variant, look to Rumack’s Diagnostic Ultrasound (2,000+ pages). ❌ Interventional ultrasound – Only one short chapter; lacks advanced procedures (biopsy planning, ablation). ❌ Physics chapter – Very basic. For SPI exam (ARDMS), you’ll need a dedicated physics text (e.g., Edelman’s Understanding Ultrasound Physics ). ❌ No pocket size – Hardcopy is ~8.5” x 11” and 2 lbs; not for the scanning suite.
