Literature Review

Books:

• Ultrasound in Emergency and Ambulatory Medicine, by Barry Simon and Eric Snoey
• Emergency Ultrasound, by John Ma and James Mateer
• Ultrasound in Emergency Medicine, by Michael Heller and Dietrich Jehle

The editors of these texts (and their chapter contributors) are Emergency Physicians, and it shows. Their approach, while detailed enough to keep you going in ED ultrasound for years, is still focused on the non-radiologist. The works are well-written and copiously illustrated. The descriptions of more advanced applications are clear and concise, making them easily accessible.
