Technology for Diagnostic Sonography provides clear, in-depth coverage of physics principles, ultrasound transducers, pulse echo instrumentation, Doppler instrumentation, clinical safety, and quality control. It includes the latest information on real-time imaging techniques, plus a comprehensive discussion of image artifacts. Wide-ranging online review questions offer ample opportunities to assess student knowledge. Designed for beginning sonographers, this text helps students develop an understanding of physics and instrumentation, demonstrate their knowledge on exams, and prepare for success in clinical practice.
-
- A focus on essential physics and instrumentation provides the exact technical content students need to prepare for clinical sonography practice.
- Accessible, conversational writing style with real-world analogies explains physics concepts and makes this difficult topic less intimidating.
- Examples and sample problems help students make the connection between theory and practical applications.
- The latest information on equipment and scanning methods ensures an understanding of how to competently and safely use ultrasound instrumentation.
- Comprehensive discussion of image artifacts with illustrative examples helps in recognizing and eliminating artifacts.
- Detailed description of performance testing with tissue mimicking phantoms allows assessment of the proper operation of B-mode scanners.
- Practical guidance on the clinical use of mechanical index and thermal index enables practice of the ALARA principle when scanning patients.
- Full-color format shows scans as they appear in the clinical setting.
- Key terms and other student-friendly features provide a focus on important information.
- Summaries of essential principles and equations reinforce the most important concepts.
- Extensive review questions on a companion Evolve website help in assessing student progress.
