Understanding beats memorization.
If you're tired of memorizing and still feeling confused, this is where everything starts to click.
This is a full physics course designed to break down complex concepts into clear visuals, practical explanations, and structured lessons that actually make sense.
Curriculum
Every domain covered, start to finish.
Fifteen modules, grouped into six areas, so you can see the course structure before you enroll.
01
The fundamentals
Foundations of ultrasound physics, describing sound waves, pulsed sound, and how sound interacts with media.
e.g. frequency and wavelength, propagation speed, PRP and PRF, duty factor, attenuation, acoustic impedance
02
Transducers & beams
Transducers, sound beams, and display modes.
e.g. how transducers work, matching layer, beam anatomy, focal depth, divergence, A-mode, B-mode, M-mode
03
Imaging & resolution
Two-dimensional imaging and resolutions.
e.g. array types, image formation, axial, lateral, slice thickness, temporal
04
Instrumentation
Pulsed echo instrumentation and image processing, harmonics and contrast agents.
e.g. receiver function, processing tools, harmonic imaging, contrast enhancement
05
Doppler
Hemodynamics, Doppler physics and optimization.
e.g. flow patterns, stenosis, venous flow, the Doppler effect, aliasing, color and power Doppler
06
Artifacts, safety & QA
Artifacts, bioeffects, quality assurance and professional responsibility.
e.g. shadowing, reverberation, mirror image, side lobes, ALARA, sonographer responsibility
