ADI 300 - Ultrasound Physics I
Course Department: Health Sciences
1 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 15
Course Description:
This course is one semester and is designed for students who are pursuing a diagnostic medical sonography degree. It is designed to provide the student with fundamental information necessary to understand the principles of the production and propagation of sound waves as it applies to diagnostic medical sonography imaging. Topics to be covered include acoustic physics and doppler ultrasound principles. The course will also cover instrument and image optimization such as resolution, transducers, instrumentation, real-time imaging, image storage and display. The course will aid in preparation for the registry exam and allow students to apply their knowledge in the clinical setting all while making important life decisions.
