BME 543L
Cardiac Ultrasound Imaging and Function (GE, IM)
Olaf T. Von Ramm
Description from DukeHub
Course combines medical instrumentation with a contrasting engineering and clinical perspective, with a focus on ultrasound cardiac imaging and measurement. The classroom aspect covers the physical basis of ultrasound cardiac imaging and measurements. The clinical component consists of cardiac anatomy and physiology, case studies, and clinical observations. The course includes two cardiac dissections and a hands-on experience in the Human Anatomy Lab. Students are required to develop image analysis software from supplied clinical 3D images to automatically determine quantitative physical descriptors of cardiac function. Prerequisite: Biomedical Engineering 354L or instructor consent. Instructor consent required.

AI-resilient: 2 of 5
- Yes: Physical, lab or field work · "dissections"
- Yes: Live work with people · "clinical"
- No: Judgment someone is accountable for
- No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
- No: Small, in-person format
The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
