Rad 312 (Ultrasound Physics & Instrumentation)

Course Description: The course provides the theoretical basis that would enable the student to acquire a conceptual grasp of the physical principles of medical ultrasound imaging. The principle of the production and absorption of U/S is discussed. Students are also made aware of the modern instrumentations used for the various U/S techniques.

Objectives 
1. Summary of the main learning outcomes for students enrolled in the course.
 Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to understand the physical concepts in 
 Ultrasound Physics & its instrumentation and increase their experience in this area. 
 
2. Briefly describe any plans for developing and improving the course that are being implemented. (eg 
increased use of IT or web based reference material, changes in content as a result of new research in 
the field)
 Basic knowledge gained in the course will be developed through an increased use of IT and 
 web-based reference material with special reference to specialists in this area, mainly:
 
New Technology applied in ultrasound imaging
