### title

ADVANCED ULTRASOUND PHYSICS

### description

Mathematical and physical foundations of the application of acoustics in diagnostic ultrasound. Derivation of wave equations for mechanical waves in fluids and solids from a continuum mechanics perspective. Diffraction theory and methods for acoustic field calculation (analytic, angular spectrum, simulations). Review of interactions of acoustic waves with biological tissue and methods to measure their acoustic properties. In-depth discussion of methods for structural image formation including ray-line scanning, plane wave compounding, synthetic aperture, coded excitation, and spatial coherent imaging. Introduction to novel functional imaging approach, including ultrafast Doppler, molecular ultrasound, functional ultrasound, and super-resolution imaging. Application of the acquired knowledge to perform a systematic literature review of the state-of-the-art of the field for the solution of a relevant clinical problem.

#### notes

* The requirements text 'B M E/MED PHYS 573and578' is parsed as an AND condition requiring both BME/MEDPHYS 573 and BME/MEDPHYS 578. The lack of explicit conjunction words like 'and' between the course numbers in the source text is ambiguous,
* The source text 'B M E/MED PHYS 573and578' contains non-breaking spaces and missing spaces around links. The parser interprets '573and578' as a single token or ambiguous sequence. Given the context of prerequisites, it is interpreted as a '
