Course Objectives On completing this course, learners should be able to: - Know the parameters that define the safe use of diagnostic ultrasound.
- Understand how an ultrasound image is obtained and how the use of the controls on ultrasound equipment can be used to alter the image in order to obtain an optimal image.
- Recognise the limitations of machine default settings.
- Demonstrate understanding of the physical principles underpinning the practice of diagnostic ultrasound.
This online module provides the essential knowledge needed to understand how ultrasound systems create images, their limitations, and how these factors impact clinical decision-making. Through a combination of guided lessons and interactive quizzes, you will be able to: - Navigate the fundamentals of ultrasound physics and technology
- Develop an understanding of how artifacts arise and how to minimise their impact
- Appreciate how limitations in imaging affect accurate localisation and measurement (e.g., tumour growth assessment)
- Strengthen your ability to interpret ultrasound images safely and effectively in practice
