關於本電子書

Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging provides a comprehensive introduction to and a state-of-the-art review of the essential science and signal processing principles of diagnostic ultrasound. The progressive organization of the material serves beginners in medical ultrasound science and graduate students as well as design engineers, medical physicists, researchers, clinical collaborators, and the curious. This it the most comprehensive and extensive work available on the core science and workings of advanced digital imaging systems, exploring the subject in a unified, consistent and interrelated manner. From its antecedents to the modern day use and prospects for the future, this it the most up-to-date text on the subject. Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging provides in-depth overviews on the following major aspects of diagnostic ultrasound: absorption in tissues; acoustical and electrical measurements; beamforming, focusing, and imaging; bioeffects and ultrasound safety; digital imaging systems and terminology; Doppler and Doppler imaging; nonlinear propagation, beams and harmonic imaging; scattering and propagation through realistic tissues; and tissue characterization.

• Based on the author's over thirty-five years of experience in developing laboratory methodology and standards and conducting research in ultrasound.
• Conveys the fundamentals of diagnostic ultrasound as well as state-of-the-art reviews of major topics from a historical perspective. Matlab MATLAB problems and examples included.
• MATLAB problems and examples included

Professor Szabo has contributed to the fundamental understanding and design of surface acoustic wave signal processing devices, to novel means of transduction and measurement for nondestructive evaluation using ultrasound, to seismic signal processing, and to the research and development of state-of-the-art diagnostic ultrasound imaging systems for over fifty years. He is the author of the widely used textbook, Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging: Inside Out, over 100 papers and twelve book chapters, and holds four patents and several patent applications. His wide range of interests include ultrasound tissue and spine characterization, wave equations, novel imaging systems, brain imaging, therapeutic ultrasound, nonlinear phenomena and geophysical exploration. Dr. Szabo is a Fellow of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, Acoustical Society of America, and a Life Senior member of the IEEE. He is a U.S. delegate to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), Technical Committee 87 and a Convenor of Working Group 6 on high intensity therapeutic ultrasound and focusing. He was a recipient of a 1973 U. S. Meritorious Service Medal, a Hewlett Packard Fellowship and the 1974 best paper award in the IEEE Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics.
