Unit 24 US Physics, Understanding Artifacts and Optimizing Image Quality Pt 1

This educational unit teaches sonographers the fundamental physics principles underlying OB/GYN ultrasound imaging, including sound wave behavior, tissue interaction, and acoustic properties that affect image quality. Students will learn how frequency, wavelength, propagation speed, and attenuation influence transducer selection and imaging optimization for obstetrical and gynecological applications. The content emphasizes practical application of physics concepts to resolve diagnostic challenges such as imaging depth versus resolution trade-offs in first trimester versus third trimester pregnancies.

Hi there and welcome to prep's ultrasound, O-B-G-Y-N Registry Review Course. I am Jenna Le care, an A-R-D-M-S certified sonographer, and I'm excited to walk you through unit 24 ultrasound physics for O-B-G-Y-N, understanding artifacts and optimizing image quality. Before we can master sonographic technique or identify artifacts, we have to understand the foundation of what we're working with, whic...
