"I believe that it is squarely aimed at the non-specialist, not just doctors, but also nurses, physiotherapists, and indeed anyone who wishes to incorporate ultrasound into their routine clinical practice. ... I feel that this book would be useful as an introductory text for the busy clinician who is learning POCUS." (Dan Bell, RAD Magazine, August, 2019)

"This book might be of relatively modest interest to anesthesiologists. ... the Atlas of Handheld Ultrasonography is a useful reference for point-of-care ultrasonography in the critical care and emergency medicine settings. To this end, the book's image-based style lends itself well to an e-book format, to be consulted at the point of care." (Marco Baciarello, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 128 (5), May, 2019)
