DMS101 — Sonography Principles and Instrumentation I
DMS 101 - Sonography Principles and Instrumentation I DMS 101 - Sonography Principles and Instrumentation I Description: Foundational concepts of diagnostic ultrasound through the study of wave mechanics, acoustic propagation, and sound-tissue interactions. Explore the physical characteristics of sound, the formation of pulses, and the behavior of acoustic energy in the human body. Emphasis is placed on understanding how physical principles directly influence image formation and diagnostic quality. Explain how ultrasound propagates through various tissues and how interactions influence image appearance. Differentiate key pulse wave parameters. Explain key pulse waves influence on resolution, depth, and image quality. Evaluate the effect of acoustic impedance and angle of incidence on reflection, transmission, and scattering. Explain the principles and clinical relevance of harmonic imaging.
