Highlights: This curriculum uses videos, text, and assessment questions to explore how sound waves can be used in noninvasive diagnostic imaging.
Abstract: Ultrasound is a non-invasive form of imaging that provides topographical and temporal information of internal organs and blood flow in real-time, e.g. prenatal ultrasound. This curriculum provides context for the following concepts: sound waves, the speed of sound, decibels, diffraction, absorption, doppler shift, penetration of sound in tissue, acoustic impedance, shadowing, and 3D imaging. The curriculum includes a manuscript with key concepts, video series from a medical professional, video comprehension questions, and pre-lecture checkpoints and homework problems.
