2017 Fall Main
DMS1051/Lecture/01 - Sonography Principles & Instrumentation | Credits 3.00
Learn about acoustic physics in terms of the characteristics and properties of sound energy and the manner in which very high-frequency sound (ultrasound) is used in imaging. Physical principles examined will include wave forms, propagation, relationship of velocity of propagation to frequency and wavelength, acoustic impedance, reflection, refraction, other types of attenuation, transducers and basic layout of a pulsed-echo imaging system. Applied ultrasound physics as related to ultrasound-system design and instrumentation are covered. Principles of fluid dynamics and the fundamentals of Doppler physics and instrumentation are covered. Quantitative methods used in acoustic output measurement and quality assurance are discussed, and the current data on the biological effects of ultrasound is reviewed. 3 semester hours.
