DMS 200 Principles of Computerized Sonography #

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 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 pulsed-echo-imaging system.
