 “Helmed by two of the most prolific leaders in academic POCUS, the content is authoritative and clinically exacting, with each chapter authored by world experts in that specific domain. This is not a primer but a capstone text. It is an indispensable resource for experienced clinicians pushing the boundaries of their practice … . This landmark work is set to become the new standard reference for the art and science of advanced POCUS.” (Dr Nick Mani, RAD Magazine, February, 2026)
