Ultrasound/Doppler - (USDC-601) ( MIT): Course Content

Doppler ultrasound is a type of ultrasound imaging that uses sound waves to visualize and measure the speed and direction of blood flow in blood vessels. It works by analyzing the frequency changes of reflected sound waves, which are altered by the moveme
