The distillation of complex information into a simple diagram is magical. It can make otherwise inaccesible information accessible to anyone. I wanted to make neuroanatomy simple, so I wrote Neuroanatomy: Draw it to Know it during my Neurology Residency at Wash U 10 years ago, which I was fortunate to have Oxford University Press publish. However, the process of reinterperating neuroanatomy through noiseless diagrams taught me that to "keep it simple, stupid" is anything but easy.

This visual spatial technique is used by memory champions, and will allow you to remember facts as if they were objects in a room. Intuitive sketches that come to life. Sketches are drawn and explained piece by piece so you are never bogged down by a busy image. Instead of resorting to random symbols, we strive to present cohesive scenes and stories that make sense so information is easier to recall.

This CD-ROM is a practical guide to applications of ultrasound. It contains the full text and illustrations of McGahan's and Goldberg's book, "Diagnostic Ultrasound: A Logical Approach", plus 30 minutes of narrated videoclips of real-time ultrasound scans and colour Doppler ultrasound scans. Coverage encompasses ultrasound of all anatomic regions, as well as obstetric, gynaecologic and paediatric ultrasound, Doppler, endoscopic ultrasound, ultrasound-guided invasive procedures, intraoperative ultrasound, three-dimensional ultrasound, and newer adaptations of ultrasound. The presentation guides the user systematically through the examination, differential diagnosis and diagnosis. Users have instant access to more than 2400 images, including full-colour scans, as well as to possible diagnoses, lists of differential diagnostic points, and flow diagrams of key steps in the diagnostic decision-making process. Interactive questions for each topic are also included.
