Course Description & Intended Audience
Part of the series: Unlocking the Secrets of Breast Ultrasound
Understanding the physics of ultrasound and what makes it work is crucial to optimizing, interpreting, and using the images captured during scanning. The Basic Physics of Ultrasound course reviews key concepts including the basics of ultrasound equipment, transducers, characteristics of ultrasound waves, image resolution, range, transmission media, and echogenicity. You’ll also get in-depth insight into improving scan quality through our Ask the Physicist videos.
The course is intended for breast sonographers preparing for the Breast Sonography Certification exam, breast radiology trainees, non-radiologists, and breast surgeons, especially those who use ultrasound. The course may also serve as a refresher for clinical radiologists. Our multi-modular approach ensures comprehensive learning for all levels of experience in breast ultrasound.
