A concise, superbly illustrated (print + electronic) textbook that brings together a reliable, clear and up to date guide to surface anatomy and its underlying gross anatomy, combined with a practical application of ultrasound and other imaging modalities.

A thorough understanding of surface anatomy remains a critical part of clinical practice, but with improved imaging technology, portable ultrasound is also fast becoming integral to routine clinical examination and effective diagnosis.

This unique new text combines these two essential approaches to effectively understanding clinical anatomy and reflects latest approaches within modern medical curricula. It is tailored specifically to the needs of medical students and doctors in training and will also prove invaluable to the wide range of allied health students and professionals who need a clear understanding of visible and palpable anatomy combined with anatomy as seen on ultrasound.

Concise text and high quality illustrations, photographs, CT, MRI and ultrasound scans provide a clear, integrated understanding of the anatomical basis for modern clinical practice

Highly accessible and at a level appropriate for medical students and a wide range of allied health students and professionals

Reflects current curriculum trend of heavily utilizing living anatomy and ultrasound to learn anatomy

Supplementary video content showing live ultrasound scans and guided areas of surface anatomy to bring content to life and reflect current teaching and clinical settings

An international advisory panel appointed to add expertise and ensure relevance to the variety of medical and allied health markets

Inclusion of latest ultrasound image modalities

Designed to complement and enhance the highly successful Gray’s family of texts/atlases although also effective as a stand-alone or alongside other established anatomy resources

Gray's Surface Anatomy and Ultrasound is a very useful book on surface anatomy. It has clear illustrations that can help understand these difficult aspects of anatomy. In my view, this is one of the best books on surface anatomy.

I really recommend this book for introducing surface anatomy to students. The images are clear and well laid out to coincide with the printed information. The "to do" sections are really useful for encouraging students to get actively involved in their learning and for preparing them for clinical practice. Understanding the surface anatomy is really important for students in healthcare professions because they will start by examining patients from the outside in. So having a concrete and detailed understanding of surface anatomy and how it relates to internal anatomy is invaluable and this book addresses this skill head on.
