Main description:

Emergency and Clinical Ultrasound Board Review is a comprehensive guide for preparing for the Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasonography or Critical Care Echocardiography board exams, and for residents preparing for in-training examinations in ultrasound. The text consists of over 500 multiple-choice questions, organized into 18 chapters covering ultrasound topics such as physics, eFAST, echocardiography, thoracic, aorta, hepatobiliary, renal, pregnancy,
soft tissue, ocular, procedural, airway, ENT, DVT, testicular, abdominal, and musculoskeletal applications. This is a multi-specialty work, with contributors representing the fields of emergency medicine, internal medicine, cardiology, critical care, and radiology. Chapters include questions, answers with
detailed explanations and references to primary or landmark articles to help better navigate a standardized exam. Questions are written in a case-based format that emulates the ABEM and NBE board exams, and are supplemented by over 800 figures, tables, boxes, and online videos.
