POCUS Basics Videos

These videos focus on the basic concepts used in POCUS (Point-of-Care Ultrasound). Topics include Ultrasound Physics, Artifacts, Knobology, and Doppler.

Ultrasound Physics Basics Physics and Image Generation

This is a discussion of basic ultrasound physics and how an ultrasound image is generated.

Ultrasound Physics Scanning Modes B Mode

Brief description of B Mode (2D mode) ultrasound.

Ultrasound Physics Scanning Modes M Mode

Brief explanation of M mode (motion mode) ultrasound.

Ultrasound Physics Imaging Artifacts

Ultrasound Imaging Artifacts are ultrasound image illusions. Due to several factors returning sound waves create false findings on the ultrasound image. In this brief presentation we will discuss these factors to avoid mistakenly misinterpreting findings when performing bedside ultrasound.

Ultrasound Physics Scanning Modes Color Doppler

Brief description of Color doppler ultrasound and doppler effect.

Ultrasound Physics Scanning Modes Pulsed Wave Doppler

Brief description of pulsed wave doppler.

Basic discussion of ultrasound image attenuation.
