SON-213 Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation for the General Sonographer

This hybrid course presents the physics of Ultrasound to the performance and instrumentation used in the general sonographic practice. A review of the basic laws and instruments are also discussed as they relate to the specific topics of the Doppler effect and sonographic artifacts. Special emphasis is placed on bioeffects and safety in the performance of General Sonography. The advancements in sonographic applications and instrumentation such as harmonics and 3D are explored, as well as the use of contrast agents. Review from Ultrasound Physics I is covered in the form of online assignments and testing.
