Kurssin yhteystiedot (koskee tätä kurssikertaa):
It is recommended that the questions related to lectures, exercises and workshops are asked throught the Discussion forum in myCourses. Your questions will be responded to at the Discussion forum so the correspondence will help other students as well.
The issues related to the lectures will be addressed by Heikki Nieminen. Issues related to the course exercises will be responded to by Emanuele Perra and wokshops by Yohann Le Bourlout.
Opetusperiodi (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
III-V (spring)
Osaamistavoitteet (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
After taking the course, the student is able to explain in writing and calculations:
- basic linear and non-linear ultrasound–matter interactions (acoustic radiation force, acoustic streaming, cavitation, shock waves)
- physics of biomedical ultrasonic applications, e.g., ultrasound imaging, quantitative ultrasonics, ultrasonic therapeutics
- physics of ultrasonic actuation of matter (e.g. drug, drug vehicle, gas bubble, cell, tissue, organs)
In addition, the student is able to read scientific literature on biomedical ultrasonic applications in linear and non-linear domain.
Sisältö (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Physics of:
- linear ultrasonics
- non-linear ultrasonics (acoustic radiation force, acoustic streaming, cavitation, shock waves)
- ultrasound-induced thermal effects
Bridging the physics of ultrasound with biomedical research and clinical applications
Tarkennukset kurssin sisältöön (koskee tätä kurssikertaa):
The course will mainly focus on physics of biomedical ultrasonics. We will walk through the basic physics of imaging and characterization applications, but mainly focus on applications where ultrasound is used to actuate matter (move particles/bubbles, generation of mircoscopic perforations, heating, generation of light by sound). The discussed physical thepry will be connected to research and clinical applications. During the course project, the students will be able to get hands-on with ultrasonic equipment, run experiments in the laboratory and make analysis. The results will be interpreted and disclosed in a project report and an oral presentation on the topic.
Toteutus, työmuodot ja arvosteluperusteet (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Teaching Methods: Lectures, independent and supervised exercises, literature survey, supervised lab work, presentation.
Assessement Methods and Criteria: To pass the course the student will need to obtain points from conducting exercises, giving a presentation related to the course project and completing the course project report. Taking the course will require working throughout the semester.
Tarkennetut arviointiperusteet ja -menetelmät ja tutustuminen arviointiin (koskee tätä kurssikertaa):
Depending on the number of students on the course, the course project will be done as individuals or in pairs.
The contribution to the course score comes from doing three different assignments: 1. the exercises (score 1-5, weight 0.4), 2. giving a presentation related to the course project (score 1-5, weight 0.2) and 3. completing the course project report (score 1-5, weight 0.4). One must successfully pass in each category 1-3 to pass the course.

Oppimateriaali (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Lecture slides; scientific articles; Ultrasound in Medicine, 1st edition, eds. Duck et al.
Tarkennukset oppimateriaaliin (koskee tätä kurssikertaa):
It is highly recommended to participate the lectures, since most of the
material presented in the lectures (lecture slides) is not explained in
sufficient depth in the course book. The information shared in the
lectures is essential for being able to successfully conduct the
exercises and the course project.
Esitiedot (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Course NBE-E4000 and following skills are recommended: bachelor-level courses in physics and mathematics, basic knowledge of signal processing, basic skills in Matlab.
