Question
Answer
A sound wave is created by a transducer, reflects off an object, and returns to the transducer. The depth of the reflector is 10 cm in soft tissue. What is the go-return time?   show
🗑
A sound wave is created by a transducer, reflects off an object, and returns to the transducer. The go-return time is 39 microseconds. What is the total distance that the pulse traveled?   show
🗑
show 13 microseconds  
🗑
One reflector is 5 times deeper than another. The time of flight of sound to the deeper structure is ______the time of flight of the shallower reflector.   show
🗑
show 260 microseconds  
🗑
show 2500 Hz  
🗑
show false  
🗑
Axial resolution measures the ability of a system to display two structures that are very close together when the structures are perpendicular to the sound beam's main axis. (t/f)   show
🗑
Axial resolution may also be referred to as...   show
🗑
show less ringing, higher frequency  
🗑
Two ultrasound systems produce acoustic pulses. One pulse is 0.4 microseconds in duration and the other is 0.2 microseconds. Which pulse will most likely provide the best lateral resolution?   show
🗑
show false (less pulse= greater quality)  
🗑
Which transducer has the best axial resolution? A) 2 cycles/pulse, 4 MHz B) 4 cycles/pulse, 4 MHz C) 4 cycles/pulse, 2 MHz D) 2 cycles/pulse, 2 MHz   show
🗑
show equal to .80mm  
🗑
An ultrasounic pulse has a pulse repetition period of 1.2 msec, a spatial pulse length of 2.0 mm and a wavelength of 0.4 mm. What is the axial resolution of the system?   show
🗑
How does an ultrasound system determine the location of a reflector?   show
🗑
How does time of flight correlate with imaging depths?   show
🗑
show ultrasound systems computers are programmed with the average speed of sound in soft tissue. The average speed of sound in soft tissue multiplied by the go-return time divided by 2 gives the depth  
🗑
how are total distance traveled and reflector depth related?   show
🗑
show directly related, PRP (microseconds)= imaging depth(cm) x 13microseconds/cm  
🗑
show inversely related, when imaging depth doubles-PRF is halved  
🗑
what is the significance of resolution to the diagnostic process?   show
🗑
What question does axial resolution answer?   show
🗑
show 2mm because a shorter axial resolution length indicates shorter pulses and improved image quality.  
🗑
