Description

This guidebook represents ten years of experimenting in how to present ultrasound physics to the students of the School of Cardiac Ultrasound. The text presented here represents an approach that has proven very successful for the past three years. The major strength appears to be the guidebook's flexibility. Each student gains confidence knowing that the guidebook closely follows the ARDMS physics outline. Some of the students move through the book reading the material and answering the questions page by page. Certain students have found it useful to answer the questions at the end of each topic first, reviewing the text where the answers to the questions were not clear to the student. Others have utilized the ultrasound physics at a glance section, while many have gone right to attempting to answer the Physics 500.
