Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation 1

Catalog description

Introduces the basic principles of ultrasound physics and instrumentation as applied to cardiac sonography. Students learn how sound waves travel through tissue and how these interactions create sonographic images. A clinical scan lab provides hands-on practice to connect physics concepts with image acquisition and quality. This course builds a strong foundation for advanced studies in echocardiography and cardiovascular imaging. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Cardiovascular Technology – Echocardiography program (10-521-2). Complete BIOSCI-177 or BIOSCI-201 and BIOSCI-202.
