Doppler Ultrasound: Physics Instrumentation and Clinical Applications

This book provides a comprehensive examination of the Doppler ultrasound method, a reliable and extremely useful research technique and diagnostic tool. It takes a close look at Doppler from a broad range of perspectives, describing the physical principles upon which the method is based, and the instrumentation and processing necessary to measure, record, and image flows from within the body. The clinical applications are surveyed at length to demonstrate the potential of the method as well as to illustrate the technical accounts that appear earlier in the book. By thoroughly explaining how Doppler ultrasound works, and showing its many capabilities, this book gives readers an inside look at one of modern medicine's most widely used technologies.
