Lecture Preview

This lecture will introduce students to state-of-the-art topics in the field of ultrasound imaging. We will start with brief reviews of the ultrasound fundamentals, and then move on to discuss the hardware (transducer, array, and system), imaging sequences, and beamforming methods. We will conclude by discussing the real-world challenges, emerging applications, and advanced ultrasound techniques including ultrafast imaging, super-resolution imaging, aberration correction, etc. Live demo and hands-on experience using a commercial ultrasound system will be provided to the students. If time permits, we’ll also introduce ultrasound simulation software which can be helpful for students who are interested in ultrasound-related projects.

Course Summary

Instructors: Sherif Ahmed & Amin Arbabian

Unlike conventional imaging courses, the content is not limited to a specific sensor modality, instead, the lectures and labs broadly cover technical terms related to any multidimensional imaging sensors, such as Lidar, time-of-flight (ToF) camera, radar, and ultrasound. This course also has labs and projects, offering fun hands-on experiments.
