- Synopsis
- Hoskins (medical physics, U. of Edinburgh, UK) et al. compile 15 chapters by medical physicists from the UK who detail the principles and practice of ultrasound scanning for trainee radiologists, sonographers, and other professionals using it in a clinical setting. They explain the physics, technology, and safety of ultrasound and include images and diagrams. Complex techniques like Doppler frequency estimation using FFT and 2D autocorrelation are explained in terms of their function--not their signal processing--to keep the book focused on principles that underpin clinical use. Noncommercial techniques like vector Doppler are not covered. This edition has updated descriptions of technology, quality assurance, and safety; more chapters on 3D ultrasound, contrast agents, and elastography; and a new glossary.
