Top Ultrasonography books

Hey guys! Welcome to Greyscaletheories.  The common non ionizing radiation source is definitely sound in medical imaging. Know the best sonography principles and the physics behind it by having a look at one of these books!

1. Principles and Practice of Ultrasonography by Bhargava S.K

The purpose of the book is to provide clear, concise and in-depth knowledge and use of ultrasound in various system of body including its historical perspective and instrumentation. The scanning technique and basic sonographic anatomy has been given in detail for better understanding of its pathology. The utility of ultrasound in body systems such as abdomen, peripheral vascular diseases, chest, musculoskeletal system and color Doppler has been clearly.

The recent application of ultrasound like intraoperative, 3D ultrasound, endoscopic, intravascular and contrast agent has been included. Obstetric ultrasound has been given in a separate chapter for its better understanding. A separate chapter has specifically been added on normal ultrasound measurements. The book will be essential guide to the postgraduates, practicing physicians, obstetricians and gynecologist and radiologist in their day-to-day practice.

It’s clear, straightforward approach is designed to improve your understanding of sectional anatomic images as they relate to USG — and facilitate communication between USG technologists and other medical personnel. Comprehensively covers USG at just the right depth for technologists

 

2. Essentials of Ultrasound Physics by James A. Zagzebski PhD

A concise, practical reference that can be a companion to Hagen-Ansert Textbook of Diagnostic Ultrasonography 4e, or used as a stand-alone resource for anyone interested in ultrasound physics. This easy-to-follow text works well as a primer for the Registry exam.

Topics covered include broadband transducers, modern beam formers, dynamic frequency filtering, intraluminal transducers, and color flow imaging methodology, bio effects and acoustic output labeling standards. Plus, chapter outlines, review questions and answers, and a practice Registry exam help to reinforce the learning process.

 

3. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging- Jerrold T. Bushberg, J. Anthony Seibert, Edwin M. 

This renowned work is derived from the authors' acclaimed national review course (“Physics of Medical Imaging") at the University of California-Davis for radiology residents. The text is a guide to the fundamental principles of medical imaging physics, radiation protection and radiation biology, with complex topics presented in the clear and concise manner and style for which these authors are known.

Sections of the book address topics common to all forms of diagnostic imaging, including image quality and medical informatics as well as the non-ionizing medical imaging modalities of MRI and ultrasound. Current concepts and a number of helpful appendices complete this comprehensive textbook.

The text is enhanced by numerous full color charts, tables, images and superb illustrations that reinforce central concepts. The book is ideal for medical imaging professionals, and teachers and students in medical physics and biomedical engineering. Radiology residents will find this text especially useful in bolstering their understanding of USG.

4. Understanding Ultrasound Physics by Sidney K. Edelman

This book has in-depth explanation on the basic physic behind image formation in Ultrasonography, technical advances and wide spread applications.

The text is enhanced by numerous full color charts, tables, images and superb illustrations that reinforce central concepts. The book is ideal for medical imaging professionals, and teachers and students in medical physics and biomedical engineering and useful in enhancing their understanding of USG.

The book will be essential guide to the postgraduates, practicing physicians, obstetricians and gynecologist and radiologist in their day-to-day practice.

 

5. Diagnostic Ultrasound: Physics and Equipment by Peter Hoskins, Abigail Thrush, Kevin Martin, Tony Whittingam         

Information on the basic principles of Doppler ultrasound tends to be scattered in sections of large, academic texts and as such is not easily accessible to the trainee using Doppler techniques for the first time. Aimed primarily at sonographers taking the postgraduate diploma in medical ultrasound, this book provides a concise technical introduction to the subject, without going beyond the level of knowledge required.

Fully illustrated throughout, with high-quality halftones and explanatory line diagrams, it covers all aspects of the topic from the basic physics of waves and wave propagation, transducer design and beam formation, signal processing and information storage (including PACS), through spectral, color and 3D Doppler, to contrast agents and safety implications.

 6.Christensen's Physics of Diagnostic Radiology by Thomas S. Curry III MD, James E. Dowdey PhD, Robert E. Murry Jr. PhD.

This book provides a clear understanding of the physics principles essential to getting maximum diagnostic value from the full range of current and emerging imaging technologies. Includes refined, updated and expanded content throughout, along with more learning tips and practical applications.

 Sections of the book address topics common to all forms of diagnostic imaging, including image quality and medical informatics as well as the non-ionizing medical imaging modalities of MRI and ultrasound. Current concepts and a number of helpful appendices complete this comprehensive textbook. Updated material added in ultrasound (color Doppler).

 It is an important text for radiographers, technologists, radiology residents, radiologists, and other students and professionals working within imaging, including medical physicists and nurses
