This book discusses the use of ultrasound imaging for diagnosis with image-guided interventions and ultrasound-based therapy. It covers the background on the technology of transducers and beam formers for use in 2D, 3D and 4D ultrasound as well as developments in tissue characterization, Doppler techniques, ultrasound contrast agents, and ultrasound-guided biopsy and therapy. The first part of the book deals with transducers, beam formers, and imaging systems. The second section discusses diagnostic applications and the last part looks at the use of ultrasound in image-guided interventions.

Zielgruppe

Researchers, physicians, trainees, technologists, technicians, and graduate students interested in diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultrasound.
