This book has been written by one of Australia’s leading ultrasound educators to help medical professionals develop a sound understanding of the physics and technology of ultrasound. It is intended for use either in self-guided study or as a textbook for formal university and professional courses of study. Unfortunately many health professionals find the physics and technology of ultrasound difficult to understand. This book, based on decades of experience teaching ultrasound physics and technology to medical practitioners and sonographers, aims to make the subject as accessible as possible. The author is renowned for his ability to make difficult concepts understandable, as the following comments show. “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, Sonographer Educator, Hamilton, New Zealand. “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), Senior Lecturer, Queensland University of Technology, Echo Educator, The Prince Charles Hospital. “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, Program Director, Australian Institute of Ultrasound, Gold Coast, Queensland.

Product Description 
An approachable textbook for medical practitioners and technologists studying to become ultrasound practitioners. Written by a leading ultrasound educator and designed to suit typical university, college or professional courses. Also appropriate for self-guided study.The first edition of this book sold over 5000 copies. This second edition brings the content up to date, while retaining the style and chapter structure of the first. Many sections have been rewritten, new material has been introduced and some outmoded material removed. As before, a Study Guide has been developed to complement the text. 
 Review 
A rare gem. A dazzling new text. Explains the major concepts with ease, clarity and stylistic elegance. A pleasure to read. Incredibly comprehensive. Brings together theory and practice in one harmonious package. Should be a part of the reference library of every ultrasound department. (Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine) 
Probably the best text of its type that I have seen. Fulfils its aim in a simply outstanding way. Topics are described with the same clarity that has led the author to be one of the most valued teachers of ultrasound technology in Australia. The author is able to marry his sophisticated knowledge of ultrasound technology with simplicity and clarity of explanation. (RANZCR Inside News) 
An invaluable resource for students, teachers and all users of ultrasound. Comprehensively covers all aspects of the physics of ultrasound. Covers the most complex concepts in a particularly accessible manner using language that is clear, concise and understandable. I loved this book and would highly recommend it to all students of ultrasound. (ASA Sound Effects) 
An excellent resource for both qualified sonographers and student sonographers. (Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences)
