Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation
Author: Wayne R. Hedrick, David L. Hykes, & Dale E. Starchman
This comprehensive resource provides clear explanations and numerous, simple line drawings that fully explain the “whys” of physics as applied to ultrasound.
Updated content includes:
- New material on PACS
- Contrast agents
- Power Doppler
- Harmonic imaging
- 3D and 4D technology
- 1.5D and 2D transducers
- Spatial compounding
- Extended field of view
- Composite material transducers.
Material is clarified through the use of well-designed analogies, examples of digitally processed images, and learning features such as key terms, clinical examples, end-of-chapter review questions, mock registry exams, a glossary, and a math review appendix. This text also offers excellent preparation for the physics portion of the ARDMS certification exam.
