Читать книгу The Physics and Technology of Diagnostic Ultrasound: A Practitioner's Guide - Robert Gill - Страница 4

This book has been written to help medical professionals (and others) to develop a sound understanding of the physical and technical principles of diagnostic ultrasound. It is intended for use either in self-guided study or in the context of a formal course or training program. It is assumed that the reader has access to ultrasound equipment and opportunities for scanning patients or volunteer subjects while they are studying from this book.

Inevitably the choice of topics and the depth to which they are covered has been selective. The coverage of the book has been designed to suit the typical university or professional course of study. Practitioners in highly specialised areas such as echocardiography may therefore need to supplement the material here by studying other resources.

The author is well aware that many students of ultrasound find the physics and technology very abstract and challenging. For this reason concepts are introduced throughout the book as they are needed, with each chapter building on the preceding chapters. It is therefore strongly recommended that the chapters be read in the order they are presented.
