It’s hard to make physics sexy unless you’re Brian Cox but I reckon the third edition by Hoskins et al is as close as it gets. The book is colourful, affordable and good value. In my opinion, this reliable text will be useful for practitioners studying clinical ultrasound, for individuals delivering course content and, if fitted with an anti-theft device, a handy resource to keep on the bookshelf of all training departments.Hazel Edwards, senior sonographer at East and North Hertfordshire NHS TrustRAD Magazine, January, 2020
