We are in the process of setting up a joint degree with the local State Technical school. One of the programs involved is a nursing program. The want a physics course on "acoustics" If I understand their request correctly what they want is to go into medical imaging with emphasis on sonar imaging. (the request was filtered through two administrators and a committee none of whom know much about physics so it is a bit fuzzy)
Does anyone have any recommendations for texts, supplemental material etc for a Medical Physics course that "does not just emphasize joints etc." ?
