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 |
