US sensors for biomedical applications (3 ECTS)

Presentation

Description:
This course covers the concepts of measurand, influence factors, sensor conditioning, and the physics of wave propagation. Applications and illustrations of these notions are related to ultrasound imaging in the medical field. In particular, ultrasound images are analyzed in terms of the physical phenomena that led to their creation.

Objectives:
Acquire notions relating to wave propagation.
Know how to choose and size a sensor.
Know how to explain the operation of a medical ultrasound scanner.
Know how to analyze a medial ultrasound image with regard to the underlying physical phenomena.
