Teaching

We teach a one-term module on Biomedical Ultrasound for final year undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and medical students taking an intercalated year studying Medical Physics. This provides an introduction to the physics, mathematics, and instrumentation of biomedical ultrasound, both imaging and therapy. The module includes several practical demonstrations, including a clinical tutorial on ultrasound imaging from a clinician from UCLH, the hospital linked to UCL. Details of the module can be found on UCL’s module catalogue.
