Diagnostic Ultrasound Principles and Instruments 7/e

Description
A market leader and a highly respected reference, this text explains
how diagnostic ultrasound works and helps readers scan safely,
properly handle artifacts, evaluate instrument performance, and
prepare for registry and board examinations. It covers all essential
aspects of ultrasound physics, including Doppler, artifacts, safety,
quality assurance, and the newest technologies. Information is
presented dynamically, with a multitude of boxes and tables and over
1,200 illustrations. Focusing on the most basic and essential
equations, this book simplifies complicated mathematical concepts.


Key Features

*Coverage of the basics of physics and ultrasound provides students
with what they need to know to pass the registry exam.

*Learning Objectives and Key Terms begin each chapter, and
subheadings have been added to break up the chapters into more
accessible sections.

*40-page color insert includes more than 100 ultrasound scans,
providing an accurate representation of what students will actually
encounter in the clinical setting.
