New book prepares physicians for widespread use of ultrasound |
|
|
|
Since the Civil War, the stethoscope has been a standard tool of the trade for physicians. Soon, the average doctor may be toting another valuable diagnostic tool: a pocket-size ultrasound machine.
Alexander B. Levitov, MD, a professor of internal medicine, believes that day is close. "I think in three to five years they will become commonplace," he predicts.
Dr. Levitov, a critical care physician and expert in the use of ultrasound, is prepared for that eventuality. He is author of a new book that guides physicians in use of the ultrasound machine. Bedside Ultrasound in Clinical Medicine was published in partnership with the American College of Physicians.

EVMS faculty excel in Top Docs listing |
|

In its August 2010 issue, Hampton Roads Magazine highlighted some of the region's best doctors. Of the 58 doctors recommended by other physicians in an annual survey, 48 have some affiliation with Eastern Virginia Medical School, serving as either full-time or volunteer community faculty.
The magazine compiled the list based on the recommendations of more than 1,000 local doctors who responded to the survey. Each physician was asked to recommend one or two doctors in more than 30 specialties, including pediatrics. The physicians who received the most votes were selected for inclusion in the list.
