Biologic System Evaluation with Ultrasound

Designed as a reference manual for engineers in the field of ultrasonics, this volume describes the mathematical and physical principles of ultrasound imaging on living tissue. It explains the ultrasound scattering of images and image acquisition.

---

This is a reference book for engineers in the field of ultrasonics and is intended to inform those unfamiliar with current methods of ultrasonic analysis. Explaining the mathematical and physical principles of ultrasound imaging of living tissue, the book encompasses the following topics: relationships between the biological and scattering hierarchies; graphic descriptions of scattering; class 1,2,3,4 scattering and their association with the biological hierarchy; instruments used for biologic system evaluation; and computed tomographic methods of imaging. The authors provide an effective explanation of the ultrasound scattering of image and image acquisition that should benefit engineers, physicists and radiologists alike.
