A practical learning tool for building a solid understanding of
biomedical ultrasound

Basics of Biomedical Ultrasound for Engineers is a
structured textbook that leads the novice through the field in a
clear, step-by-step manner. Based on twenty years of teaching
experience, it begins with the most basic definitions of waves,
proceeds to ultrasound in fluids and solids, explains the
principles of wave attenuation and reflection, then introduces to
the reader the principles of focusing devices, ultrasonic
transducers, and acoustic fields, and then delves into integrative
applications of ultrasound in conventional and advanced medical
imaging techniques (including Doppler imaging) and therapeutic
ultrasound. Demonstrative medical applications are interleaved
within the text and exemplary questions with solutions are provided
on every chapter. Readers will come away with the basic toolkit of
knowledge they need to successfully use ultrasound in biomedicine
and conduct research.

* Encompasses a wide range of topics within biomedical ultrasound,
from attenuation and eflection of waves to the intricacies of
focusing devices, transducers, acoustic fields, modern medical
imaging techniques, and therapeutics

* Explains the most common applications of biomedical ultrasound
from an engineering point of view

* Provides need-to-know information in the form of physical and
mathematical principles directed at concrete applications

* Fills in holes in knowledge caused by ever-increasing new
applications of ultrasonic imaging and therapy

Basics of Biomedical Ultrasound for Engineers is designed
for undergraduate and graduate engineering students;
academic/research engineers unfamiliar with ultrasound; and
physicians and researchers in biomedical disciplines who need an
introduction to the field. This book is meant to be "my first
book on biomedical ultrasound" for anyone who is interested
in the field.

HAIM AZHARI, DSc, conducts research in medical imaging, including the application of ultrasound and MRI in medical imaging, image tomographic reconstruction, image processing, and information extraction from medical images. Professor Azhari received his doctorate in biomedical engineering from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in 1987. From 1987 to 1990, he was on the staff of the Technion Department of Biomedical Engineering in a postdoctoral position. Azhari then received a double appointment as an International Research Fellow in both the Department of Radiology and the Division of Cardiology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Upon his return to Israel in 1992, he joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Technion-IIT as a staff member, where he is currently an associate professor. From 1999-2000, Azhari was at Harvard Medical School in the Beth-Israel Radiology Department.
