[share_ebook] DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND Imaging and Blood Flow Measurements [Biomedical Engineering, Medical Imaging]

Description

• Author: K. Kirk Shung

The field of medical imaging is advancing at a rapid pace. Imaging modalities like x-ray radiography, x-ray computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, nuclear imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and optical imaging have been used in biology and medicine to visualize anatomical structures as large as the lung and liver and as small as molecules. Ultrasound is considered the most cost-effective among them. It is used routinely in hospitals and clinics for diagnosing a variety of diseases. It is the tool of choice in obstetrics and cardiology because it is safe and capable of providing images in real time. New applications in small-animal imaging and cellular imaging are being explored. Although many clinical books on ultrasound have been published, very few technical books are available. This has been a major problem for the author in teaching graduate courses in ultrasonic imaging at the Department of Bioengineering, Pennsylvania State University, and Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Southern California, over the past 25 years. It is for this purpose that this book was written. The book is intended as a textbook for a senior or first-year graduate-level course in ultrasonic imaging in a biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, medical physics, or radiological sciences curriculum. An attempt has been made to minimize mathematical derivation and to place more emphasis on physical concepts.
