Ultrasound Technology for Clinical Practitioners is a practical and hands-on guide to ultrasound technology, specifically designed for clinical practitioners who use it on a daily basis. Written by renowned medical physicist and vascular ultrasound scientist Crispian Oates, this book offers a comprehensive resource for educators, students, and practitioners seeking to enhance their understanding of the latest ultrasound techniques, including ultrafast ultrasound and elastography.
Unlike many other textbooks, Ultrasound Technology for Clinical Practitioners takes a first-person perspective, presenting the information in a memorable and relatable way. It employs bulleted lists, diagrams, and images throughout, using mathematical equations sparingly and only when necessary to illustrate key concepts. Physics examples are drawn from everyday contexts, making it easier for readers to grasp the material. Additionally, optional description boxes provide extra helpful information on certain topics.
Among the topics covered in the book are measurement taking, safety and quality assurance in ultrasound, image quality and artifacts, Doppler and color Doppler ultrasound principles, beam shapes, transducers, imaging techniques, pulse-echo instrumentation, and the foundational physics of ultrasound. The propagation of ultrasound pulses through tissue is also discussed in detail.
This book is an indispensable resource for sonographers, echocardiographers, and vascular scientists. However, it also has great value for radiologists, cardiologists, emergency medicine specialists, and any other clinical users of ultrasound.
