I am so happy with the service it was exceptional. I never thought that i will get service like this it was great service. i requested quick service because my exam was so close and i got book in 15 days.

For a number of years, Professor Kremkau has been publishing in parallel two textbooks on medical ultrasonography: Diagnostic Ultrasound and Doppler Ultrasound. He even spends the a great deal of the preface explaining why the two textbooks are complementary. Having now in my hands the most recent editions of both books, I can see that the dualism has ended, as the smaller one has been more or less absorbed in the latest (1998) edition of Diagnostic Ultrasound, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Doppler Ultrasound will not be reprinted.

The textbook starts with an overview of the basic physical properties of waves and ultrasound in particular. It's being followed by a short chapter on hemodynamics. We then arrive at the Doppler effect, which is given a chapter on itself. It is being followed on the spectral analysis, and the two techniques are woven together in the chapter on the use of Doppler effect in ultrasonic diagnostic (i.e. Color Doppler). The textbook is concluded with a chapter on artifacts, performance and safety.

Each chapter is concluded with a review, a glossary of used terms and a list of exercises (the answers are provided at the end of the book). The index is fairly useful, while the list of references isn't particularly impressive.
