Sound Principles

Catalog description

Discusses the fundamentals of ultrasound physics along with the principle underlying design and operation of the ultrasound equipment includes mathematics of ultrasound physics, properties of continuous and pulsed acoustic waves, effects of interfaces, the generation of ultrasound and Doppler principles. Covers the types of different instrumentation, display modes, image artifacts, quality performance measurements and bioeffects. Achieves didactic objectives through the use of texts, films, supplemental reading materials, lecture, class discussion, and the Internet. Achieves psychomotor objectives through laboratory practice sessions enhanced by instructor evaluations. Co-requisite: PHY 152, HIT 125,ENG 112,SPE 101 or SPE 102 or SPE 210,BIO 211
