This exercise is a confidence builder in preparation for timed, computerized exam taking. The number of questions and the allotted time simulate that of the actual exam. See the Fees page for special prices on these physics courses. This course covers the math essentials underlying the physics of ultrasound. It provides a basic understanding of how formulas are derived.
Students can proceed through their studies of physics without being limited by a fear of math.
The course includes a description of the properties of sound and ultrasound, scientific parameters, and methods in expressing these properties and measurements of ultrasound. The course includes the central equations of ultrasound and examples of calculations for each. Upon completion of all the requirements of the course, the student should be prepared to read and understand the published information concerning ultrasound science and imaging technologies. Physicians and sonographers who are starting their education in diagnostic ultrasound or who are preparing for medical boards or registry examinations on ultrasound physics. This first course explains sound production and propagation, reflection, resolution, attenuation, intensity measurements and bioeffects.
