Description:
This eight module course builds the foundation for understanding and learning Point of Care (POC) Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound Physics for sonographers, physicians, and health care professionals with a need to practice MSK ultrasound. The modules teach physics from a unique perspective with direct clinical application to ultrasound using many analogies, animations, ultrasound images, and ultrasound videos. The modules cover ultrasound and wave fundamentals, imaging fundamentals, ultrasound system controls, image artifacts, basic Doppler theory, PW spectral Doppler, color Doppler, and ultrasound bioeffects and safety. The instructor for this course, Frank Miele, is a dynamic, world- renown lecturer who holds many patents and trade secrets in diagnostic ultrasound, with a unique ability to make seemingly very difficult concepts come to life and comprehensible.
