SPI Chapter 13
Real-Time Imaging
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is static scanning? | images displayed one frame at a time |
| What is frame rate? | frames per second |
| What is frame rate determined by? | sound's speed in medium and imaging depth |
| What is the unit for frame rate? | hertz (Hz) |
| What is temporal resolution? | accuracy in time |
| What is temporal resolution determined by? | the frame rate |
| What is unit for temporal resolution? | hertz (Hz) |
| What is frame rate inversely related (reciprocals) to? | time of frame (temporal) |
| What are two sonographer-controlled settings o an ultrasound system? | imagining depth and number of pulses in each picture |
| What two things are frame rate inversely related to? | imaging depth and pulses per frame |
| What are three factors that determine the number of pulses per frame? | number of focal points, sector size, line density |
| What is the main advantage of multi-focus? | better lateral resolution |
| What is sector size? | more pulses required to create an image, temporal resolution decreases |
| What is field of view inversely related to? | frame rates |
| What is line density? | spacing between sound beam |
| What is line density inversely related to? | frame rate |
| What is the main advantage of high line density? | improved spatial (detail) resolution |
