ISBN: 9780987292186 (paperback)
ISBN: 9780648869603 (e-book)
Do you like a physical book so you can easily highlight passages, use sticky notes etc? Then this is the book for you.
If you prefer the convenience and portability of an e-book, you can buy that instead. Or get the best of both and buy the print book and e-book.

Artifacts in Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound: Volume 1 Grayscale Artifacts by Martin Necas
ISBN: 9780987292162 (paperback)
ISBN: 9780987292179 (e-book)
Ultrasound artifacts are usually recognised by the operator and pose only a minor nuisance. But sometimes an artifact will confuse even the most experienced practitioner. 
The purpose of this book is to demystify artifacts, expose their true nature and offer the reader tools to recognise, eliminate and circumvent even the most stubborn artifacts.

What our readers say

“Stunning. A tour de force. I am sure it will become the new standard physics textbook in Australasia and perhaps the world. There simply isn't anything like this out there.”

MARTIN NECAS 
Author (Artifacts in Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound), Sonographer Educator, Hamilton, New Zealand

“I've ... chosen to find aspects of physics that I have found to be poorly explained in all the other books available - thank you for having such an ability to bring these concepts into language understood by poor mortals. I am truly impressed. The overall initial impression is - this is the book we've all been waiting for”

SUE DAVIES
Founder, Australian Institute of Ultrasound, Gold Coast, Queensland

“… thanks for all the time and energy you invested to deliver such a fantastic physics course and textbook. … helping us all understand not only the theory of ultrasound physics but how to apply it practically as future sonographers. … the most comprehensive and easy-to-read ultrasound physics text I have read … will no doubt remain a go-to reference throughout my studies and career.”

“Love it. You make ultrasound physics easy to understand. I compared a few chapters to [the text used at present] and what a difference!”

MARK BRYANT
Lecturer, former Member of DMU Board of Examiners, awarded Chris Kohlenberg Teaching Fellowship, Ballina, NSW

“Rob Gill has a unique ability to describe the often complicated concepts of ultrasound physics in a way that is easy to understand. For this reason, Rob is always my 'go to-guy' for any questions that I have regarding this topic. So I have no doubt that his textbook on ultrasound Physics will be embraced as a 'must-have' study tool and teaching guide for all those in the field of medical ultrasound.”

BONITA ANDERSON
Author (Echocardiography: The Normal Examination and Echocardiographic Measurements and A Sonographer’s Guide to the Assessment of Heart Disease), former Senior Lecturer, Queensland University of Technology.

“… the study guide is fantastic … The small format of the pages makes it easy to carry around, and the model answers are clear and concise.”
