Physics 3.3 & 3.4

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
show sweeping, steering the beam, automatically, real time sonography  
🗑
show the transducer sends out scan lines, a complete scan of the ultrasound beam is called a frame, real-time sonography presents images(frames) in a rapid sequential format  
🗑
show mechanical, electronic  
🗑
show oscillating an element, spinning a group of elements, oscillating a mirror, mostly obsolete(some 3D and 4D)  
🗑
electronic scanning   show
🗑
array   show
🗑
transducer arrays   show
🗑
types of arrays   show
🗑
linear array   show
🗑
linear arrays contain..   show
🗑
show applying voltage to groups of elements in succession, each group acts as a larger transducer element, sound beam moves across the transducer face from one end to the other and jumps back to the begininng to repeat  
🗑
linear scanning   show
🗑
show the process must be accomplished rapidly, 30 times per second  
🗑
aperture   show
🗑
width of image   show
🗑
show paralell scan lines, produced by pulses that originate at different points across the face of the linear array transducer  
🗑
firing sequence   show
🗑
Facts: linear sequenced   show
🗑
show convex, curved sequential array, curvilinear array  
🗑
construction   show
🗑
operation   show
🗑
show pulses travel out in different direction due to curved shape, produced a SECTOR image  
🗑
show aka convex, curvilinear, or curved sequenced array, curved shaped image, wide near field, firing is sequenced, electronically focused  
🗑
show sector, vector or linear phased array, contains a compact line of elements, each element is 1/4 of a wavelength wide  
🗑
show applying voltage pulses to all elements at almost the same time, usually less than 1 microsecond difference  
🗑
phasing   show
🗑
show aka sweeping the beam, produced by phasing, time differences among the elements are changed continually creating a SECTOR shaped image  
🗑
show phased array, sector image, "piece of pie shaped," common point of origin on the transducer face  
🗑
show sector transducer in which the scan lines do not have a common point of origin  
🗑
show aka sector, vector, vector or sector shaped image, electronic steering and focusing, used for (cardiac, abdominal, neonatal, and endocavitary transducers)  
🗑
focus by phasing   show
🗑
show provides electronic control of focus, the sonographer can change the focal depth  
🗑
show one pulse can be focused at only one depth, to create a wide focus many (multiple) focuses must be used, multiple focuses require more time to create an image, slows down the frame rate  
🗑
dynamic aperture   show
🗑
show slice thickness, section thickness, z axis, elevation axis, 3rd dimension of the ultrasound beam, the depth  
🗑
two dimensional arrays   show
🗑
two dimensional arrays have the ability to...   show
🗑
show with 100s or 1000s of elements have the ability to steer and focus in two dimensions rather than one, rapid electronic volume imaging is thus created  
🗑
grating lobes   show
🗑
apodization   show
🗑
show phasing applied to linear sequenced array, used to steer pulses in various directions, initiate pulses at various starting points across the array, allows more elements to be used, thus larger aperture and focal depth  
🗑
show scan lines originates from different points across the front of the transducer, they travel out in different directions, shaped similar to a sector image but has a flat footprint  
🗑
parallelograms   show
🗑
show consists of several concentric ring shaped transducers, focused by phasing  
🗑
focusing   show
🗑
show annular arrays cannot steer the beam, the beam is steered mechanically  
🗑
hybrid transducer   show
🗑
electronic focusing   show
🗑
dynamic focus   show
🗑
3D transducers   show
🗑
freehand   show
🗑
mechanical   show
🗑
show aka 2D array or matrix array, real-time volume imaging, transducers have up to 10,000 elements,  
🗑
4D imaging   show
🗑
resolution   show
🗑
types of resolution   show
🗑
resolutions   show
🗑
detail(spatial) resolution   show
🗑
detail resolution   show
🗑
show detail resolution is a numerical value  
🗑
show the better the detail resolution  
🗑
show L longitudinal A axial R range D depth  
🗑
defintion   show
🗑
axial resolution =   show
🗑
show 2 structures for each structure to be recorded  
🗑
show SPL divided by 2  
🗑
show the SPL must be reduced  
🗑
show # of cycles x wavelength  
🗑
show higher frequency  
🗑
reduce # of cycles   show
🗑
useful frequency range   show
🗑
imaging depth   show
🗑
show minimum separation between tow reflectors that can produce two separate echoes, reflectors are in a plane perpendicular to the sound beam  
🗑
show L lateral A azimuthal T transverse A angular  
🗑
show beam width  
🗑
show is determined by both the frequency and the diameter of the element, higher frequency = shorter NZL (best lateral resolution at the focus)  
🗑
show numerical value, the smaller the number the better the resolution, less distance is needed between the structures to image both the structures  
🗑
distance   show
🗑
show focusing  
🗑
show focus. transducers have better axial resolution than lateral  
🗑
elevational resolution   show
🗑
improvement by...   show
🗑
contrast resolution   show
🗑
show the ability to display structures in real time, related to equipment  
🗑
show contrast resolution plays a big part in overall resolution, the best transducer resolution will be of no value without good equipment resolution  
🗑
