Abstract
Learning ultrasound can be overwhelming and confusing, especially for those who are becoming familiar with equipment and images for the first time. This chapter will provide an overview of basic point-of-care ultrasound physics and procedure. It will explain ultrasound-specific terminology for image optimization, transducer types including clinical application and positioning, and different scanning modes such as brightness mode, motion mode, and Doppler. Lastly, common ultrasound artifacts, their characteristics, and how to recognize them will be described.
