DMS 101 Ultrasound Physics I #

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 includes wave forms, propagation, and relationship of velocity of propagation to frequency and wavelength, acoustic impedance, reflection, refraction, other types of attenuation, transducers and basic layout of a pulse echo imaging system.
