The above list of tables open as pdf documents and require Adobe Acrobat Reader. Please click here to download the latest version of the Reader.
Also, both the Greek character font and Multinational Helvetica character font are available in compressed formats for download.
Supplemental Tables
Laust Pedersen has kindly offered to include his list of material properties here as well, and rather than take it apart and edit everything into these lists, we offer it as a stand alone spreadsheet (MS Excel file in zip-format, for download only).
We strive to foster ultrasound development and hope you find this information helpful.
