Just published Terry Reynolds calls Inside Ultrasound's Vascular Reference Guide a masterpiece. He's right. The life's work of one of the most respected authorities in the field, it is painstakingly and gorgeously illustrated, bristling with facts, figures, formulas, conversion tables, correlative data, and other information that cannot easily be found elsewhere.
