Medical Acoustics will give a deeper insight in the medical application of ultrasound. The course will focus in-depth into various diagnostic methods used in medical ultrasound for cardiac and radiology applications. These include colour flow, Doppler, intravascular ultrasound, high-frequency ultrasound and contrast imaging.
COURSE OUTLINE:Several experts in the field of medical ultrasound will provide interesting cases. There is ample room for hands-on demonstrations in the practical sessions. The course starts with the technical details of ultrasound (transducers, signal analysis, physical techniques) and will conclude with several application used in the clinical field today. Part of the course is given as traditional lectures, some of them will be in the form of assignments or practical lab classes.
