Module 1A: Basic Math in Ultrasound The math covered in this module is foundational to the physics covered in all of the later modules. Details	Module 1B: Advanced Math in Ultrasound These concepts will significantly improve your ability to comprehend and apply ultrasound physics. Details	Module 2: Waves Concepts aid in understanding how sound wave parameters are changed to improve clinical information acquired during imaging. Details
Module 3: Attenutation In this module, we discuss the three primary components of attenuation, which include absorption, reflection, and refraction. Details	Module 4: Pulsed Wave This discussion about PW timing becomes the foundation for understanding depth resolution, frame rate, and temporal resolution. Details	Module 5: Transducers In this module we focus on beam characteristics and the advantages and limitations of each transducer type. Details
Module 6: System Operation Various system controls are discussed to understand the greater context of the interactions that take place within the ultrasound system. Details	Module 7A: Spectral Doppler We discuss the Doppler controls of transmit, receiver gain, wall filters, video compression, PRF, spectral processing and display. Details	Module 7B: Color Doppler Learn the application of the Doppler effect in color Doppler imaging, including gain, wall filters, persistence, and color priority. Details
Module 8: Artifacts Imaging artifacts of detail resolution, reverberation, grating lobes, refraction, shadowing, enhancement, multi-path, and mirroring. Details	Module 9: Bioeffects In this module, we formalize our understanding of the two primary bioeffect risks, mechanical and thermal bioeffects. Details	Module 10: Contrast/Harmonics This discussion includes the mechanism and limitations of harmonic contrast, tissue perfusion, and harmonic imaging of tissue. Details
Module 11: Quality Assurance Ultrasound and Doppler flow phantoms, imaging test performance, and statistical test validation are covered. Details	Module 12: Fluid Hemodynamics Concepts include the resistance equation, simplified law of hemodynamics, continuity equation, Poiseuille’s Law, and Bernoulli equation.
