TLDR
Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging provides a unified description of the physical principles of ultrasound imaging, signal processing, systems and measurements that enable practicing engineers, students and clinical professionals to understand the essential physics and signal processing techniques behind modern imaging systems.Abstract:
Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging provides a unified description of the physical principles of ultrasound imaging, signal processing, systems and measurements. This comprehensive reference is a core resource for both graduate students and engineers in medical ultrasound research and design. With continuing rapid technological development of ultrasound in medical diagnosis, it is a critical subject for biomedical engineers, clinical and healthcare engineers and practitioners, medical physicists, and related professionals in the fields of signal and image processing. The book contains 17 new and updated chapters covering the fundamentals and latest advances in the area, and includes four appendices, 450 figures (60 available in color on the companion website), and almost 1,500 references. In addition to the continual influx of readers entering the field of ultrasound worldwide who need the broad grounding in the core technologies of ultrasound, this book provides those already working in these areas with clear and comprehensive expositions of these key new topics as well as introductions to state-of-the-art innovations in this field. * Enables practicing engineers, students and clinical professionals to understand the essential physics and signal processing techniques behind modern imaging systems as well as introducing the latest developments that will shape medical ultrasound in the future* Suitable for both newcomers and experienced readers, the practical, progressively organized applied approach is supported by hands-on MATLAB code and worked examples that enable readers to understand the principles underlying diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound* Covers the new important developments in the use of medical ultrasound: elastography and high-intensity therapeutic ultrasound. Many new developments are comprehensively reviewed and explained, including aberration correction, acoustic measurements, acoustic radiation force imaging, alternate imaging architectures, bioeffects: diagnostic to therapeutic, Fourier transform imaging, multimode imaging, plane wave compounding, research platforms, synthetic aperture, vector Doppler, transient shear wave elastography, ultrafast imaging and Doppler, functional ultrasound and viscoelastic modelsread more

Modulation of Brain Function and Behavior by Focused Ultrasound.
TL;DR: While further research is needed to elucidate the biophysical mechanisms, focused ultrasound, alone or in combination with other factors, is rapidly maturing as an effective technology for altering brain activity.
Dissertation
An Automated Modified Region Growing Technique for Prostate Segmentation in Trans-Rectal Ultrasound Images
TL;DR: A new approach for automatic prostate segmentation of Trans-Rectal UltraSound (TRUS) images is proposed by dealing with the speckle not as noise but as informative signals, which overcomes the requirement of manually selecting a seed point for initializing the segmentation process.

Evaluation of crack closure stress by analyses of ultrasonic phased array images during global preheating and local cooling
TL;DR: In this article, a closed fatigue crack was imaged by a linear phased array (PA) method during crack opening by global preheating and local cooling (GPLC), and the thermal stress induced by GPLC was calculated using an analytical solution and thereby estimated CCS.

TL;DR: It is shown that speckle characteristics and the frequency content of PA signals can be used to monitor changes in average vessel size, linked to tumor growth, and is utilized to characterize the unresolved vasculature in acoustic-resolution photoacoustic imaging.
