Sonography Physics & Instrumentation
Finally, an ultrasound physics and instrumentation text written by a sonographer for sonographers. Presented in an easy-to-read and generously illustrated narrative style, Acoustics to Images covers the scientific principles and technological concepts that make sonographic imaging a reality. This new addition to the SPI resource library offers full chapters on pertinent acoustic physics, conventional imaging instrumentation, and a comparative overview of state-of-the-art advances in ultrasound imaging architecture.
​
While the content covers virtually all of the material found in national certifying examinations, this book, unlike many texts currently in use, is not exam-centric in its approach. With significant developments in sonographic imaging technology that open the door to new and exciting diagnostic applications, Acoustics to Images offers a coherent foundation for understanding these advances to both students and active practitioners.
