Series: How, Why and When

Part of the popular How, Why and When series of introductory textbooks, Ultrasound Physics and Technology is ideally tailored for students and healthcare practitioners needing a comprehensive understanding of the basic principles behind how sound waves and echoes create ultrasound images.

Easy to read, concise and highly accessible, this book is perfect for readers who do not have a physics or technology background. It covers how ultrasound produces diagnostic images, why it is used in different clinical scenarios, and when its use as a diagnostic tool is appropriate.

The book has been fully updated to incorporate the latest technology and developments, and will be an invaluable guide for all sonography practitioners and students who wish to practise ultrasound safely and effectively.

Covers all the fundamental physics and technological knowledge needed to practise ultrasound effectively, including safety aspects, quality assurance, and the latest techniques and developments Clear and concise explanations for those new to ultrasound physics and technology - no prior knowledge or experience necessary Step-by-step introduction to the topics, covered in a logical order - each chapter builds on content covered in previous chapters Learning outcomes and chapter summaries support learning Easy to read and follow - written in non-technical language for readers from a variety of training backgrounds. Takes a non-mathematical approach to explain the principles of ultrasound physics Uses a variety of examples from clinical practice used to bring learning to life Ideal for students but also valuable as a quick reference guide for all medical practitioners of ultrasound, from sonographers to doctors and midwives

New to this edition

Covers advancements in transducer technology Looks at integration of ultrasound with other imaging modalities such as CT and MRI for more accurate diagnostic evaluations. Covers new 3D/4D ultrasound in obstetric imaging Explores artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate image interpretation and optimise workflow in ultrasound technology

Reviews for Ultrasound Physics and Technology: How, Why and When

Review of the previous edition: ""The authors using their experienced background in ultrasound education have provided a concise overview of ultrasound physics and instrumentation to the new ultrasound user in a simple and clear manner. For the postgraduate ultrasound student the book can be a useful complement in aiding comprehension of the principles of physics and instrumentation...This would be a useful reference book in the clinical department."" --Becky Mulloy, Lecturer City University
