Reihe: Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

Ultrasound in Medicine is a broad-ranging study of medical ultrasound, including ultrasound propagation, interaction with tissue, and innovations in the application of ultrasound in medicine. The book focuses specifically on the science and technology-the underlying physics and engineering. It examines the most closely related aspects of these basic sciences in clinical application and reviews the success of technological innovations in improving medical diagnosis and treatment. The book bridges the gap between tutorial texts widely available for ultrasound and medical training and theoretical works on acoustics.

Zielgruppe

Practitioners and researchers in medical ultrasound (sonography); supplementary reading for those on ultrasound paths of medical imaging masters courses and radiography courses.
