SON 2614C Physics in Ultrasound

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.  (1 hr. lecture, 2 hrs. Lab.)
