A must for sonographers!!

This text should be adopted by all Diagnostic Ultrasound schools.
This is an invaluable text for both those wishing to understand ultrasound and those preparing for their board exams. The text is organized in a way to meet anyones learning style with lots of questions and a very well done CD.
I was recently at a board review course at which Mr. Miele was presenting, he followed the two volume text in his presentation and made untrasound physics come to life. I came to realize the importance of this material in everyday clinical ultrasound. Everyone I spoke with was thankful for the first chapter in the text, Mathematics, which clearly demonstrates the need to understand these principles and shows you how you can come to that understanding. There may not be a lot of calculations on the boards, but there is a lot of math. Thanks to this text, many will be prepared for their boards and have a more clear understanding of physics in their everyday practice.

I think this book is Ok to learn ultrasound physics. We are using it in our class right now. We went through and did all of level one now we are going back and doing level two/three. I think Miele is a very very smart guy. A lot of things he seems to go way more in depth then what I believe we will need. My teacher swears by the book though. I guess we will see when it comes time for all of us to take our boards
