Opis

This is a substantial revision of a respected work that details the latest advances in ultrasound technology related to biomedical applications. This includes such topics as elastrography, portable scanners, ultrasound molecular imaging, preclinical high frequency imaging, 2D array, and 4D imaging techniques. Each chapter has been considerably updated and expanded. A new chapter has been added on new developments such as elastography and miniature scanners. New case studies and examples throughout the book are also included in this new edition.

Recenzje

"... provides excellent coverage in many areas of the physics and engineering of diagnostic ultrasound imaging, but also misses some key concepts that would be useful to new ultrasound physicists and engineers. Although designed as a biomedical engineering textbook on ultrasound imaging, it is useful as a handbook for quick reference to many basic concepts, bioeffects and acoustic measurement techniques for diagnostic ultrasound imaging and applications."
—Jeremy J. Dahl, Stanford, California, USA, from Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, Volume 41, Number 12, 2015
