DMSO 1302 - Basic Ultrasound Physics(3:3-0-0) credit hours.
Prerequisites: ENGL 1301 , MATH 1314 , PHYS 1401 or PHYS 1405 , BIOL 2401 .
Basic acoustical physics and acoustical waves in human tissue. Emphasis on ultrasound transmission in soft tissues, attenuation of sound energy, parameters affecting sound transmission, and resolution of sound beams. Includes interaction of ultrasound with tissues, mechanics of ultrasound production and display, various transducer designs and construction, quality assurance, bioeffects, and image artifacts. May introduce methods of Doppler flow analysis.
Measurable Learning Outcomes:
Describe the interaction of sound and soft tissues; explain sound production and propagation; and summarize the basic principles and techniques of ultrasound. Describe pulse-echo principles and actions; identify instrument options and transducer selection; recognize common image artifacts; and describe potential bioeffects
