Summary
Ultrasound is a field that exemplifies the important marriage of physics and mathematics to medicine. Ultrasonography is among the top four major discoveries in medicine during the twentieth century, along with electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and computed tomography. The discovery of the principle behind medical ultrasonography and its evolution into everyday medical practice is told through the story of remarkable individuals, intertwined careers, and life sagas.
