Index.

"...an excellent reference, providing a starting point and more
for the many avenues of interest in this rich and important topic."
(Medical Physics, December 2004)

"This book can be an excellent textbook for a graduate course in
medical ultrasonics and a valuable desk reference for researchers
in the field." (IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology,
July/ August 2004)

"This is an excellent update to the first edition of this
book and should form a standard reference for many years to
come. (Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, Vol.30,
No.5, 2004)

"I know of no other book that treats this subject with
comparable breadth and depth". (Journal of the
Acoustical Society of America, November 2004)
