Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body. It has several advantages over other imaging techniques, including lack of radiation exposure, low cost, portability, and ability to image different tissue planes. This document provides an introduction to ultrasound physics, terminology, machine components, and basic abdominal ultrasound imaging and interpretation for medical students. It discusses how ultrasound images are formed from sound wave reflections and demonstrates common ultrasound appearances of anatomical structures and pathologies.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Learning objectives
• Present an introduction to medical
ultrasonography at the level of a third or
fourth year medical student.
• After the brief course, the student should be
able to:
– Understand basic physics and terminology of
ultrasound
– State the advantages and disadvantages of
ultrasound
– Understand how the images are obtained
– Begin to interpret simple ultrasound images.
3. Outline
• Brief history of ultrasound technology
• Advantages, disadvantages
• What is ultrasound?
• Physics
• Probes, controls, machine, Doppler
• Terminology
• What structures look like
• Abdominal ultrasound
• Example of liver/gallbladder
• Quick review questions
4. History
• Medical use – 1940s
• Developing technology – 1950s
• Advancements – 1960s/1970s
• Real time ultrasound – 1980s
• 3D and 4D images – 1990s
5. Advantages
• Lack of radiation
• Quick, adaptable
• Looking at different layers/planes
• High resolution in low fat areas
• Portable
• Less expensive
7. What is ultrasound?
• Sound waves
• Waves have amplitude and frequency
• Frequency – measured in Hz
• Pulse-echo principle – crystals respond to
sound waves
• Ultrasound waves – transmitted well through
fluids and poorly through gases
8. What is Ultrasound?
• Ultrasound or ultrasonography is a medical
imaging technique that uses high frequency
sound waves and their echoes. The technique
is similar to the echolocation used by bats,
whales and dolphins, as well as SONAR used
by submarines.
9. In ultrasound, the following events
happen:
• The ultrasound machine transmits high-frequency (1 to 5 megahertz)
sound pulses into your body using a probe.
• The sound waves travel into your body and hit a boundary between
tissues (e.g. between fluid and soft tissue, soft tissue and bone).
• Some of the sound waves get reflected back to the probe, while some
travel on further until they reach another boundary and get reflected.
• The reflected waves are picked up by the probe and relayed to the
machine.
• The machine calculates the distance from the probe to the tissue or organ
(boundaries) using the speed of sound in tissue (5,005 ft/s or1,540 m/s)
and the time of the each echo's return (usually on the order of millionths
of a second).
• The machine displays the distances and intensities of the echoes on the
screen, forming a two dimensional image like the one shown below.
10. The Ultrasound Machine
• Transducer probe - probe that sends and receives the sound waves
• Central processing unit (CPU) - computer that does all of the calculations
and contains the electrical power supplies for itself and the transducer
probe
• Transducer pulse controls - changes the amplitude, frequency and
duration of the pulses emitted from the transducer probe
• Display - displays the image from the ultrasound data processed by the
CPU
• Keyboard/cursor - inputs data and takes measurements from the display
• Disk storage device (hard, floppy, CD) - stores the acquired images
• Printer - prints the image from the displayed data
11. Transducer probe
• Is the main part of the ultrasound machine.
• The transducer probe makes the sound waves and receives the echoes.
• The mouth and ears of the ultrasound machine. The transducer probe
generates and receives sound waves using a principle called the
piezoelectric (pressure electricity) effect, which was discovered by Pierre
and Jacques Curie in 1880.
• In the probe, there are one or more quartz crystals called piezoelectric
crystals.
• When an electric current is applied to these crystals, they change shape
rapidly. The rapid shape changes, or vibrations, of the crystals produce
sound waves that travel outward. Conversely, when sound or pressure
waves hit the crystals, they emit electrical currents.
• Therefore, the same crystals can be used to send and receive sound
waves. The probe also has a sound absorbing substance to eliminate back
reflections from the probe itself, and an acoustic lens to help focus the
emitted sound waves.

15. Physics
• Speed of ultrasound – average 1,540
m/second, but depends on tissue
• Acoustic impedance – density of tissue
multiplied by velocity of sound; harder
substances (like bone) usually have higher
acoustic impedance (than substances like
water or fat)
16. Terminology
• Echogenicity – measure of jumps in
impedance of an organ (NOT density)
• Hyperechoic – bright; many echos
• Hypoechoic – dark; few echos
• Anechoic – black; no echoes
• Shadowing
17. Frequencies
• Higher frequencies – better resolution but less
penetration [useful for thyroid, testes,
superficial blood vessels]
• Lower frequencies – better penetration but
worse resolution [useful for the abdomen,
aorta]
33. Doppler
Images from UCMC
Color Doppler – blue and red show
flow of blood
Spectral Doppler – waveform showing
flow (same as color, but quantitative)
• Tells you direction of flow, and its
magnitude
34. Doppler
Images from UCMC
Color Doppler – kidney , showing
segmental arteries and veins
Spectral Doppler – right testicle with
low impedance arterial waveform
• A little more detail

46. Liver/gallbladder example
• Now – try to think of an ultrasound from start
to finish; we will take the example of a
liver/gallbladder ultrasound
• Liver parenchyma
• Ducts
• Vascular system
• Gallbladder, stones
48. Liver/gallbladder example
• NPO 4-6 hours – gallbladder distended and
bowel gas minimal
• Longitudinal, transverse, and coronal scans in
supine and left posterior oblique positions
• Subcostal approach good for most of liver, but
may need intercostal approach for most
superior part
• Use Doppler to distinguish blood vessels and
ducts
