How Ultrasound Creates a Picture – The Piezoelectric Effect.Alright, let’s start your journey towards mastering Sonographic Physics and Artifacts in the easiest and most practical way possible! I’ll cover the most important concepts on how to understand Ultrasound Physics principles and Artifacts. Though beginners or experienced Point of Care Ultrasound users will find this post helpful, just think of this post as an “Ultrasound Physics for Dummies” guide or reference. Understand how important Ultrasound ARTIFACTS are Created (with full list/images of examples).Understand the Doppler Modes (Color, Power, Pulse wave, Continuous Wave, Tissue Doppler).Understand Ultrasound Terminology or “Echogenicity”.Easily Understand Ultrasound Velocity, Impedance, Reflection, Refraction, Attenuation.Always Pick the Correct Ultrasound Probe based on Frequency.Understand how Ultrasound Creates a Picture for you.In this post I will show you an easy way to use Ultrasound Physics to: Don’t worry, we are going to make Ultrasound Physics and Artifacts simple, easy, and clinically relevant! However, learning basic ultrasound physics is essential if you want to really improve or perfect your POCUS skills. I totally understand what you’re going through and have seen countless POCUS learners just gloss over ultrasound physics because it seems “boring” or “irrelevant”. As a Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) enthusiast, you may dread the term “Ultrasound Physics” and wished there was a simple way on how to learn and understand the principles of ultrasound physics that are actually relevant to your clinical practice.īut many of the resources on ultrasound physics that you encounter may seem too technical or don’t actually relate to the clinical use of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS).
