Description

Ultrasound is the most widely used clinical imaging modality, and its application to therapy has grown rapidly over the last decade. This module provides an introduction to the physics, mathematical modelling, and applications of biomedical ultrasound, both diagnostic and therapeutic. The content briefly covers the historical beginnings of ultrasound, then progresses through the physics and mathematical theory of wave propagation, ultrasound generation and detection, image formation, therapeutic mechanisms, and ends with a brief introduction to the emerging ideas that may play a significant role in the future. Students who take this course will have a solid grounding in ultrasound physics, modelling, and instrumentation to take into research or applied work.

Matlab will be used within this module. We will cover in class what you need to know, but previous students have found useful to do some Matlab learning/preparation before the module starts
