Reviews

... provides excellent coverage in many areas of the physics and engineering of diagnostic ultrasound imaging, but also misses some key concepts that would be useful to new ultrasound physicists and engineers. Although designed as a biomedical engineering textbook on ultrasound imaging, it is useful as a handbook for quick reference to many basic concepts, bioeffects and acoustic measurement techniques for diagnostic ultrasound imaging and applications. -Jeremy J. Dahl, Stanford, California, USA, from Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, Volume 41, Number 12, 2015
