Features: Medical ultrasound imaging is an interdisciplinary field that bridges clinical medicine, acoustics, and electronic computer science. In recent years, with the rapid development of acoustical theory and electronic computer science, new technologies in medical ultrasound imaging have emerged one after another, such as three-dimensional ultrasound imaging, harmonic imaging, ultrasound biomicroscopy, intravascular ultrasound, and others, greatly expanding the clinical application scope of ultrasound imaging. Without a doubt, medical ultrasound imaging has become an indispensable, self-contained, and independent discipline in clinical medicine, enriching the content and broadening the field of clinical medicine while making positive contributions to the development of healthcare. To promptly reflect the latest achievements in both fundamental theories and clinical applications of ultrasound imaging, promote in-depth research and widespread promotion of clinical ultrasound imaging, we were commissioned by People's Medical Publishing House to organize and compile this large-scale professional reference book with nearly 100 renowned experts from various fields of science, engineering, and medicine. The book consists of 10 parts and 120 chapters. Part 1 introduces the principles of medical ultrasound imaging and related equipment, Part 2 focuses on ultrasound examination and diagnostic key points for cardiac and major vascular diseases, while Parts 3 to 10 describe diseases of various organs and tissues except the cardiovascular system. Target Audience: Ultrasound physicians and professionals. Each chapter of the book summarizes the rich experience and research achievements of the authors while incorporating the latest literature from domestic and international sources. The book strives to be illustrated with vivid visuals, distinctive in features, and unified in scientific rigor, innovation, and practicality, reflecting the international advanced level of the contemporary era and tracking the cutting-edge developments in global ultrasound medicine.
