Basics of Ultrasound (Ultrasound Experimental Set 1)

With this set, experiments can be carried out on the fundamental physical-technical principles of ultrasound technology and its application in medicine, natural and engineering science. Here, reference is made to both the introduction of the basic technical terms of echoscope measuring technology as well as to the essential physical characteristics of ultrasound.For example the creation and processing of the signal from the transmission pulse to the reflection echo to the A-Scan and B-Scan image are clearly demonstrated with the ultrasonic echoscope GS200 and the accompanying software. Essential technical terms such as transmission power, receive gain and time gain control (TGC), probe frequency and coupling are elements of the experiments.Among the physical characteristics, variables such as, in particular, amplitude, frequency dependence, sound velocity, attenuation and reflection coefficient are the objects of investigations.The transition to the ultrasound applications is achieved with the demonstration of the creation of an ultrasound B-Scan image, the basics of non-destructive testing and simple industrial applications such as the level measurement. With additional accessories, the physical fundamental experiments can be extended to interesting subjects such as spectral investigations, resonance effects and dispersion of ultrasound waves.
