All About Ultrasound

Ultrasound 101: Fundamentals of Ultrasound Imaging
A clear, confidence-building starter for new and cross-training sonographers.

Build a rock-solid foundation in how ultrasound works and how to turn knobs into crisp, diagnostic images. In plain language and practical demos, you’ll master core physics, probe selection, image optimization, Doppler essentials, safety, and workflow—so you can walk into the lab ready to scan with purpose. Perfect for students, new grads, and clinicians cross-training into ultrasound, this course focuses on real-world tips, repeatable techniques, and checklists you can use on day one.

You’ll learn to:

• Explain key physics (frequency, wavelength, attenuation) and how they affect image quality

• Choose the right transducer and presets for common exams

• Optimize images with depth, gain, TGC, focal zones, dynamic range, and harmonics

• Recognize and fix common artifacts (shadowing, enhancement, reverberation, aliasing)

• Apply Color & Spectral Doppler basics (angle, PRF/scale, wall filter, baseline)

• Practice ALARA with MI/TI awareness, ergonomics, and infection control

• Document efficiently with standardized labeling, cine loops, and measurements

Ideal for: Students, new sonographers, POCUS users, and clinicians cross-training into ultrasound. Ultrasound Education Simplified!
