Basic Ultrasound Physics for EM

CORRECTION: 0:29 Megahertz = million hertz so 2 Megahertz is 2,000,000 hertz.

CORRECTION: 2:26 Speed of sound though soft tissues ranges from 1450 m/s (adipose) to 1580 m/s (muscle) and most ultrasound systems assume a default speed of sound of 1540 m/s for "tissue".


The video has an error of 1080 m/s listed (totally missed it during editing, thank you Ken Rolt for catching it).

Video reviewing basic ultrasound physics, ultrasound modes, artifacts, probes types, and imaging planes with orientations.
