Introduction to Sonographic Physics and Instrumentation II

Catalog description

This course is the second part of a two part as it relates to ultrasound physics and instrumentation. This course teaches the fundamental physics principles of the sound and the sonographic related physics including the propagation of the ultrasound waves through the tissues, studying the echo and Doppler effects. The students will learn the necessary aspects of physics that explain how the image is formed in sonographic equipment and the most common artifacts produced. The ultrasound biological effects and the American institute of ultrasound biological effects statement will be covered.
