This course provides a focused review of the fundamental and advanced concepts of ultrasound physics and instrumentation for sonography students preparing for the ARRT (S) exam. Topics include the principles of sound wave propagation, acoustic parameters, atenuation, image formation, Doppler principles, and common artifacts. Essential aspects of equipment operation, safety, and quality assurance are emphasized, alongside practical exam strategies. Learning activities combine lectures,
image review, and mock exams to ensure competency in sonography physics and readiness for the ARRT (S) certification test.
