Course content
The course will cover simulation methods for the following processes:
- linear wave propagation (spatial impulse response, K-space, 2D and 3D models, ...);
- beam and image formation (1D and 2D arrays, adaptive beamforming, ...);
- the transducer and its electric pathways (XTRans);
- moving scatterers and dynamic objects (doppler and tissue doppler imaging);
- non-linear wave propagation (quasi-linear approximation, KZK equation, finite differences methods, ...);
- aberration (AberSim)
Learning outcome
After completing the course, the student should:
1 Know the theory behind the most common simulation methods of ultrasonic wave propagation and imaging.
2 Be able to use the most common simulation tools and compare the results with lab experiments.
3 Know basic and advanced beamforming techniques.
Learning methods and activities
Two full weeks of lectures and laboratory practice plus an assignment.
Compulsory assignments
- Laboratory tasks and approved report
Further on evaluation
The course will not be arranged with less than 5 participants.
Specific conditions
Exam registration requires that class registration is approved in the same semester. Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.
