Sonography Equipment Operation Image Production in Ultrasound

Catalog description

This introductory course will examine basic physics and instrumentation concepts. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to appreciate the various components of a generic sonographic imaging machine. Discussion will include how each component is interrelated to the other components, as well as, how all components contribute to the production of a sonographic image. Basic sonographic physics will be introduced and the practical application in the clinical environment will be discussed. This course introduces the use of sonographic equipment, including control panel and its components, transducers, monitor display images, storages, and computing programs used to process the image.
