Diagnostic Ultrasound: Imaging and Blood Flow Measurements

Shung K. K.

Keeping mathematical derivations to a minimum, Diagnostic Ultrasound: Imaging and Blood Flow Measurements begins with an overview of the field, the strengths and weaknesses of the technology, and its role relative to other imaging modalities. Focus then moves to the fundamental physics involved, a detailed discussion of the transducer, conventional imaging approaches, and Doppler measurements. The following chapters explore new developments such as flow, displacement, contrast, harmonic, intracavity, and 4-D imaging. The author concludes by reviewing current status and standards on bioeffects along with a unique chapter on measuring ultrasonic properties of tissues that can be found nowhere else.
