Essentials of Ultrasound Physics

Summary: Essentials of Ultrasound Physics..An exceptional aid!
Review: Any individual preparing for the ARDMS exams in diagnostic medical ultrasound need look no further. At last, a book that is readable, easy to follow (actually follows the ARDMS physics outlline) and is very well illustrated with interesting and intuitive diagrams. The author has the rare talent of translating an extremely complex subject into everyday, understandable language.

Summary: Confusing Title Misleads Searchers
Review: We cannot review this book's contents, for it is not what we were looking for when we ordered it.

Because ~ the book's title is confusing for people not already experts in the field of high-frequency sound. The overall field we were looking for, we now know, is ultra-SONICS. Whereas, the application of high-frequency sound to medicine is known as ultra-SOUND.

The author of this book named it, a bit imprecisely, we think:

"Essentials of Ultrasound Physics"

The word "physics" in this title implies broad theoretical discussion (i.e. ultra-SONICS), whereas the books is actually limited to (medical) ultra-sound.

Searchers, suggest you use search words "ultra-SONICS" if you want to find broad materials on "high frequency sound" applications.
