One of the first applications of ultrasound was in submarine sonar
equip ment. Since then ultrasound has found increasing
applications, particularly in industry, but increasingly in
biomedicine. For many years ultrasound has been used in physical
therapy, although only in the past decade or two has it evolved
from laboratory curiosity to a well-established diagnostic imaging
modality. Ultrasound is now a widely accepted, indeed pervasive,
diagnos tic and therapeutic tool in the medical field, and its
applications are increasing rapidly. Our intent in developing this
book is to provide a coherent tutorial intro duction to the field
of medical ultrasound at a level suitable for those en tering the
area from either medical or scientific backgrounds. The topics
discussed should be of interest to nearly all medical and health
care per sonnel needing to understand or operate ultrasonic
devices, including clini cians, medical technicians,
physiotherapists, medical physicists, and other biomedical
scientists interested in the field. The book opens with a
description of the basic principles of propagating acoustic waves,
explains how they interact with a wide range of biological systems,
and outlines the effects they produce. To provide practical infor
mation to operators of ultrasound equipment, we have included
thorough coverage of the details of ultrasonic instrumentation and
measurement techniques, and set forth the framework for an
effective quality assurance program."
