This course gives an in-depth coverage of technical concepts that are fundamental to the use of ultrasound in biomedicine. Concepts to be addressed include: acoustic wave propagation theory, field profile in ultrasound imaging, principles of ultrasound-based flow estimation, and the biophysical foundations of therapeutic ultrasound. The overall aim of this course is to equip students with essential foundational knowledge in biomedical ultrasonics, starting from first principles in wave physics.
