Overview
What you will learn
After the Ultrasound course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology is successfully completed, student will acquire the theoretical and practical knowledge and will be able to:
- Discuss and perform calculations related to propagation of the acoustical waves in homogeneous media, i.e. gasses, liquids or solids; and in complex media, i.e. biological tissue.
- Based on the medical requirements design and optimize characteristics of the ultrasound transducer and emitted acoustic wave.
- Discuss the fundamental physical principles, biological effects and safety issues related to the application of ultrasound in connection with harmonic imaging, acoustic streaming, cavitation and sonoporation; and exemplify different practical applications of each process.
- Discuss clinically approved and routinely used ultrasound techniques such as Doppler, speckle tracking and more recent advanced modalities such as 4D ultrasound, shear wave elastography and contrast enhanced ultrasound.
- Identify strengths and weaknesses of the modalities for evaluation of various tissue types such as cardiac, vascular and fetus.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Propagation of the acoustic waves through different media: gas, liquids, solids; at normal and oblique incident.
- Design of ultrasound transducers and their key elements.
- Biological effects of ultrasound: harmonic imaging, acoustic streaming, cavitation, sonoporation.
- Application of ultrasound in clinical practice. Visualization and quantification of the diagnostic data by Doppler, speckle tracking, 3D-4D ultrasound and shear wave elastography.
- Basic principles and resent advancements in ultrasound contrast agents: from manufacturing, through testing to visualization.
