Every spring semester

The aim with the course is to give a fundamental understanding and an experimental experience of ultrasound. The student is given an insight in an expanding research area. Another purpose is to prepare the students for diploma work and PhD-studies in electrical and biomedical engineering

Ultrasound physics, transducer technology, diagnostic equipment technology, doppler, bio-acoustics, field characterisation, airborne ultrasound, fetal examination, non destructive testing, sonar and research projects at the departmen

have a satisfactory overview of technical ultrasound applications
have extended knowledge in the basic principles in ultrasound physics
have insight in basic ultrasonic technical principals and their implementation in advanced diagnostical systems
have knowledge in the present frontier of research

be able to characterise an ultrasound transducer
be able to experimentally perform and demonstrate basic physical effects or technical applications
be able to read and understand a scientific ultrasound paper
be able to, oral and written, explain problems within the subject ultrasound

be able to describe ethical and risk related questions from fetal examination to military applications
