Course Description

This course will introduce the basic theory of ultrasound and guide students to perform practical work with ultrasound systems. The scope of the course includes ultrasound imaging systems, photoacoustic imaging systems, ultrasound simulations and introduction to the basic principles of various ultrasound systems. 

The teaching method is divided into four parts: 

(1) Introduction to basic acoustics. 

(2) Introduction to ultrasound systems and discussion of practical problems. 

(3) Introduction to the propagation of ultrasonic waves by K-wave simulation. 

(4) Progress planning and problem discussion.
