      abstract = {This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to use  ultrasound to understand human physiology both in the  clinical setting and the classroom. Tremendous advances in  ultrasound technology have resulted in portable ultrasound  systems that are easy to use, produce excellent images, and  are affordable with quality hand-held and laptop-sized  systems costing between $2K and $20K. These systems are now  being used at the patient bedside or point of care by  almost all medical and surgical specialities from primary  care to orthopaedic surgery. These portable systems,  especially the hand-held devices, are now being called the  stethoscopes of the 21st century and will likely be used by  many that are presently using stethoscopes including  physicians, nurses, physician assistants, medics and other  health professionals. Ultrasound began to be used in  medical student education in the 1990s and is steadily  becoming a common teaching tool for courses like anatomy  and physiology. It is a visual, highly interactive learning  tool that bridges the basic and clinical sciences and  allows the learner to observe physiology principles in a  living model. Ultrasound is also being used to teach other  health professions students as well as undergraduate  college students and high school students. Despite this  interest there are no books available that provide an  introduction to ultrasound and how it can be used to  enhance the teaching of physiology. This e-book will do  just that as well as offer "How to Scan" videos with  example laboratory exercises to further engage learners.},
