Description Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging provides a comprehensive introduction to and a state-of-the-art review of the essential science and signal
processing principles of diagnostic ultrasound. The progressive organization of the material serves beginners in medical ultrasound science
and graduate students as well as design engineers, medical physicists, researchers, clinical collaborators, and the curious.
This it
the most comprehensive and extensive work available on the core science and workings of advanced digital imaging systems, exploring the
subject in a unified, consistent and interrelated manner. From its antecedents to the modern day use and prospects for the future, this
it the most up-to-date text on the subject.
Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging provides in-depth overviews on the following major aspects
of diagnostic ultrasound: absorption in tissues; acoustical and electrical measurements; beamforming, focusing, and imaging; bioeffects
and ultrasound safety; digital imaging systems and terminology; Doppler and Doppler imaging; nonlinear propagation, beams and harmonic
imaging; scattering and propagation through realistic tissues; and tissue characterization.
Audience
Suitable as a graduate level text for engineering or science students or as a reference for the practicing engineer, scientist or physician engaged in ultrasound research or development
