ME 761 Acoustic Imaging
Research oriented course focused on the variety of imaging techniques that use sound waves. The course will introduce students to how acoustic imaging is used in the sciences and engineering. These including biomedical imaging, seismic imaging for geological research and oil and gas exploration, side scanning sonar, synthetic aperture acoustic detection, photoacoustics and elastography. Students will investigate theoretical and practical issues related to the above topics including resolution, cavitation, heating, and noise limitations. Participants will be exposed to lab work, data processing and design of experiments.
