Ultrasound Physics | British Society of Echocardiography Theory Exam Revision

Good luck to all who are sitting the British Society of Echocardiography Theory Exam on Wednesday 14th October 2020. This half hour lecture was recorded a couple of days ago to help you brush up on your ultrasound physics!
Ultrasound physics questions form a GUARANTEED proportion of the theory exam and so if you understand the concepts, it'll set you up for a good overall score.
Good luck!

truly helpful and an amazing simplification of topics, thank you!!

[@joelspidey]

Amazing video. You have broken down the concepts very effectively.

This video is genuinely better that the physic one from BSC. please continue with these educational video such as systolic function,strain etc

[@edoborehisviolet2925]

This video is wonderful 👍

very helpful thank you!

Hi there, just a quick correction.
The Propagation Velocity increases as the tissue's stiffness increases and decreases as the density increases.
"In reality, the speed of sound is affected by the density and elasticity of the medium through which it is travelling and these factors are not constant for human tissues. The propagation speed of sound is higher in tissues with increased stiffness and reduced density." - Radiopedia

Hi Dave, thanks for your comment. I believe radiopedia might have a typo and that they mean that propogation velocity increases with stiffness and density. I'll pursue further references and get back to you as soon as possible

[@cardiacphysiologycommunity7666]

Apologies in my delayed response to this. Propagation velocity does increase with stiffness and decrease with density - apologies for the error. I will aim to update the video with that correction and additional information as soon as possible

[@thedavidodavido]

This video is excellent. Have you made any others for BSE examinations?

[@cardiacphysiologycommunity7666]

Thanks Dave for your kind comment! No but I'm keen to. What sort of topics do you think would be most appreciated?
