This book offers a tool for building a solid understanding of biomedical ultrasound, and leads the novice through the field in a step-by-step manner. The book begins with the most basic definitions of waves, proceeds to ultrasounds in fluids, and then delves into solid ultrasounds, the most complicated kind of ultrasound. It encompasses a wide range of topics within biomedical ultrasound, from conceptual definitions of waves to the intricacies of focusing devices, transducers, and acoustic fields"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aUltrasonics in medicine 606 $aUltrasonics 615 0$aUltrasonics in medicine. 615 0$aUltrasonics. 676 $a616.0754 700 $aAzhari$b Haim$f1955-$0969012 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830166003321 996 $aBasics of biomedical ultrasound for engineers$93939463 997 $aUNINA
