This popular text provides a comprehensive, yet accessible, introduction to the physics and technology of medical ultrasound, with high quality ultrasound images and diagrams throughout. Covering all aspects of the field at a level that meetings the requirements of accredited sonography courses, it is ideal for both trainee and qualified healthcare professionals practising ultrasound in a clinical setting. Building on the content of previous editions, this third edition provides the latest guidance relating to ultrasound technology, quality assurance and safety and discusses the latest techniques.

For those interested in a well-written book on the basics of ultrasound and how it is produced and used clinically, this is likely to be a good read. The authors are particularly careful about describing the physics in ways that medical practioners should be able to understand. Many ultrasound phenomena are explained in simple, but appropriate analogies. I am interested in therapeutic ultrasound, but most of what is in this book is also applicable to therapeutics use, so I nevertheless found it very useful.
