ULTR-1001DMS Physics 1
This course introduces the physics and instrumentation
relevant to the safe and effective practice of diagnostic medical
sonography. The following topics will
be covered: sonographic terminology, the physics of sound, pulsed ultrasound,
sound amplitude, power and intensity, sound attenuation, the interaction of
sound in tissue, diagnostic ultrasound transducers, ultrasound sound beams and
focusing, spatial and temporal resolution, real-time scanning and real-time
timing, and ultrasound instrumentation.
