The clinical applications of ultrasound have continued to develop rapidly in recent years and the availability of relatively inexpensive machines has encouraged its use by an increasing range of health care professionals. Basic Ultrasound is an introduction for those approaching the subject for the first time. By incorporating the basic physical principles of ultrasound and reviewing the major areas of clinical application the book should ensure that all new users have an adequate working knowledge of this versatile imaging technique.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
A thorough introduction to diagnostic ultrasound which has little in common with other forms of medical investigation and imaging due to the fact that the operation of equipment and interpretation of findings are highly operator dependent. Contains a detailed description regarding its principles and diverse applications in a variety of clinical situations.

2.0 out of 5 stars
this has the wrong title on the book!,
By babu0@ibm.net (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Ultrasound (Paperback)
This 220 pages book is on scanning using ultrasound as the medium and has nothing to do with the basic explanation of Ultrasound. The author(s) hardly devoted the time and the explantion of the principles on the Ultrasound. The title "Basic Ultrasound"is a misnomer. I am truly disappointed after [buying] this book.
