The latest edition of this popular reference explains how diagnostic u ltrasound works, as well as how to properly handle artifacts, scan saf ely, and evaluate instrument performance. It also helps prepare reader s for registry and board examinations. New features include...expanded coverage of Doppler ultrasound and spectral and color-flow instrument s - 200 new figures - and 1000 review exercises with a comprehensive m ultiple-choice examination.
Unfortunately, it is a necessity to study this book because Kremkau writes questions for the Ultrasound Physics registries. The man is a master of making somewhat simple concepts as convoluted as possible. I suggest reading Edelman's Understanding Ultrasound Physics FIRST, then using this as a supplement, or read them both simultaneously. I've heard that the key to passing the registry is knowing BOTH books inside and out.
