Volume 10 in the Echocardiography Illustrated series--Ultrasound Physics: B-Mode Echocardiography with Introduction to Doppler, presents a highly-visual summary of the basic physics of ultrasound and instrumentation involved in "Brightness-Mode" or B-Mode (Gray scale) anatomical imaging and Doppler Echocardiography. This book is an illustrated treatise of ultrasound physics, using cardiac ultrasonography (echocardiography) as its primary focus. Understanding the fundamental concepts of ultrasound physics as it pertains to the heart, stretches the versatility and boundaries of ultrasound and Doppler physics--harnessing the full range and power of diagnostic ultrasound technology. Therefore, if you understand the intricacies of cardiac ultrasound physics, you'll understand general ultrasound physics, and much more. This volume presents more than just information required to pass board and registry examinations, it graphically nails down the fundamental principles and concepts with visual clarity, thereby facilitating greater grasp and understanding of the foundations of diagnostic medical sonography.By demystifying ultrasound physics, it is my hope that the reader can confidently appreciate and even enjoy the essence of this fascinating technology, whether in practice, or when confronting examination questions with confidence--instead of fear and bewilderment.I trust that this volume will simplify, clarify, and hopefully delight all who harness the power of this transformative technology.

Echocardiography is essential in the practice of pediatric cardiology. A clinical pediatric cardiologist is expected to be adept at the non-invasive diagnosis of congenital heart disease and those who plan to specialize in echocardiography will need to have knowledge of advanced techniques. Echocardiography in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease addresses the needs of trainees and practitioners in this field, filling a void caused by the lack of material in this fast-growing area. This new title comprehensively covers the echocardiographic assessment of congenital heart disease, from the fetus to the adult, plus acquired heart disease in children. Topics covered include: ultrasound physics laboratory set-up a protocol for a standard pediatric echocardiogram quantitative methods of echocardiographic evaluation, including assessment of diastolic function in depth coverage of congenital cardiovascular malformations acquired pediatric heart disease topics of special interest, such as 3D echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and fetal echocardiography The approach of this book is a major advancement for educational materials in the field of pediatric cardiology, and greatly enhances the experience for the reader. An accompanying DVD with moving images of the subjects covered in the textbook will further enhance the learning experience.
