Course: | PH 102 2 day Visual Ultrasound Physics Registry Review | | Course Number: | PH 102 | Prerequisites: | None, but should not be used as a substitute for a college level physics course. | Description: | This is registry review course designed to help those who plan to take the physics portion of the ARDMS or CCI examinations regardless of the specialty of ultrasound practiced. Topics covered include basic math, introduction to ultrasound pulses, how ultrasound interacts with matter, pulsed wave instruments, transducers, Doppler, artifacts, Quality Assurance, and bioeffects. There will be many images, illustrations, and videos explaining ultrasound physical principles that have traditionally appeared on previous registry exams. This course is lecture based.* | Objectives: | Upon course completion, the attendee will be able to: - Review basic equations, perform unit conversions, and express numbers in Scientific Notation.
- Discuss what sound is, as well as list and explain ultrasound wave parameters.
- Discuss, contrast and compare Pulsed and Continuous Wave ultrasound.
- Explain the various ways Ultrasound interacts with various media.
- Describe how Pulsed Wave imaging instruments operate and list their main components.
- Describe how Piezoelectricity is produced.
- Discuss what a transducer is, list the various transducers, and describe how they are constructed.
- Describe the various types of flow and the variables that affect them.
- Describe the Doppler Effect; explain the Doppler equation and how its component parts are interrelated.
- List the various types of Doppler applications.
- Describe how Color, Pulsed, and Continuous Wave Doppler are created.
- State the benefits and disadvantages of all Doppler instruments.
- Discuss what an artifact is, list the various types of artifacts, and recognize them on an ultrasound image.
- Discuss what bioeffects are and which mechanisms could be possible of inducing tissue damage
- Discuss Quality Control and describe the various instruments used to test imaging systems
