Physics of Ultrasound

Ultrasound modules delve into the principles of sound waves and their application in medical imaging and therapy. These courses cover the fundamental physics of ultrasound, including wave propagation, frequency, and wavelength, as well as the interaction of sound waves with tissues. Students learn about the generation of ultrasound waves using transducers, how these waves reflect off different structures in the body, and how to interpret the resulting images. Additionally, the courses explore Doppler ultrasound techniques for assessing blood flow and the safety and ethical considerations in ultrasound practice. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on training, participants gain a comprehensive understanding of how ultrasound technology is utilized in diagnostics and treatment.
