What you will learn
Who doesn’t love a physics class? We feel the same. In this chapter, you will learn the basics of ultrasound physics; enough to maximize your sonographic imaging, but not so much as to take the fun out of point-of-care pediatric ultrasound. From frequency and resolution to sonographic artifacts, you will have a firm understanding of ultrasound physics principles as you interpret and troubleshoot your most complex scans.
- Frequency, wavelength, and sound
- Sound transmission principles
- The piezoelectric effect and how ultrasound works
- Axial and lateral resolution
- Linear and sector formats
- Focal zones and fields of view
- Image formatting: B-mode, M-mode
- Image artifacts you must recognize
- Ultrasound safety principles
