Reviews

Very didactically organized, with ample attention for mathematical detail, which nowhere becomes so complicated that it obscures the physics behind it [...] The first three chapter give a thorough but accessible description of the physics of ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging, while the fourth discusses the possible methods to apply these data for 2D, 3D or time-dependent imagery [...] This book is a useful addition to the ultrasonic imaging literature, stepping into the - rather large - gap between more engineering-oriented texts and theoretical works.
