10
Q
what do the width height and volume angle correspond to
A
- x,y,z
11
Q
what is the volume angle
A
- information acquired in the z axis
- distance the transducer covers in a sweep
12
Q
what comes from a slow acquisition speed
A
- more slices
- better quality volume
- higher resolution
13
Q
what comes from a fat acquisition speed
A
- active fetus
- eliminates fetal motion
14
Q
how does the image quality change between 2D to 3D
A
- SAME
- optimal 2D = optimal 3D
15
Q
what 3 factors affect image quality
A
- maternal size
- decreased amniotic fluid
- fetal positon
16
Q
how is multiplayer reconstruction does
A
- A= X, B=Y, C=Z
- A and B determines ROI
- C = size of volume
- B and C have lower resolution than A
- C lowest resolution
17
Q
what is the red dot
A
- the point where all three dots intersect
18
Q
what is tomographic ultrasound
A
- series of tomographic images
- similar to CT or MRI
19
Q
what are the purpose fo rendering modes
A
- allows different characteristics to be highlighted
-
20
Q
what is the surface smooth rendering
A
- gives face the smooth surfaces of skin which is popular with parents
21
Q
what si surface texture rendering
A
- enhances the details of a surface
22
Q
what is gradient light rendering
A
- illuminating giving a depth of impression
- more life like
23
Q
what is important to think about with threshold
A
- manually adjusted
- importnat info can be eliminated
24
Q
what is a low threshold
A
- fetal face
25
what is a high threshold
- eliminates skin look at bony structures
26
what is the electronic scalpel
- removes unwanted structures from an image
- placenta from face
- uterine wall
27
what is maximum skeletal or X ray mode
- eliminates weaker signals like soft tissue
| - used for some syndromes
28
what is inversion
- hypoechoci structures turned into solid structure
- digital cast
- gray scale removed
- cystic areas echogenci
29
what is the obstetrical application of inversion technique
- fetal ventricles
- dilated fetal urinary tract
- heart and vessels
- feal stomaach
30
what are the gynaecological application of inversion technique
- saline filled uterus
- PCOS
- hydrosalpinx
- follicular monitoring
31
what is glass body or transparent and was is it used with
- makes tissue transparent to visualize vessels better
| - used with power doppler
32
what is VOCAL
- virtual organ computer aided analysis
| - software program used to measure the volume of an irregular object
33
how does VOCAL allow contour mapping of a structure
- data set rotates 180º around fixed central axis
- tracing object contour
- contours outlined
- system recreates a model of all the contours
34
what is the 3D vs 4D
- static
- single sweep through an area
- volume is stored and viewed in many formats
35
what is the difference between 4D vs 3D
- liver or real time
| - transducer elements continuously sweeping back and forth
36
what are some of the applications fo 3D/4D in gyne
- congenital uterine anomalies
- IUD location
- endo lesions
- origin of adnexal masses
- sonohysterography
- infertility evaluation
37
what will a bicornuate uterus look like on 3D
- two separate uterine cornea on a coronal imaging plane
| - external fundal indentation >1cm needed for diagnosis
38
what is the purpose of a sonohysterogram
- volume of uterus obtained
| - 3D reconstruction improves visualization of polyps, fibroids, adhesions
39
what is the best view to asses IUD location.
- coronal view in 3D
40
what thickness of endo is hard reconstruct
- <5mm
41
what is the Z technique
- obtain 3d volume of uterus in sag plane
- in A plane place reference dot in centre of endo
- using Z ration known to align endo so parallel to horizontal plane
- in B plane place reference dot in centre of endo
- using Z rotation known to straighten the trans image so end parallel to horizontal plane
- C plane should now display a coronal image of endo
- use z to rotate image so it is in normal plane
42
what can be assessed with 3D/4D in OB
- facial anomalies
- nasal bone
- CNS anomalies
- cranial sutures
- spine
- extremities
- fetal heart
- chromosomal anormalities
- fetal movement and behaviour
43
what 5 things can we look for with the fetal face using 3D
- cleft lip
- cleft palate
- forehead
- nasal bone
- mandible
44
what do we look for with ears with 3D
- morphology
- location
- orientation
45
what doe we look for with cranial bones using 3D
- sutures
- fontanels
- bones
- workman bones
- skeletal dysplasia
46
what can we determine in regards to the spine with 3D
- spina bifida (level of defect)
| - hemivertibrae
47
how does 3D help with nuchal translucency scan
- measurement performed in less time
48
what anomalies can we look for with 3D
- club feet
- hands
- rocker bottom feet
- overlapping fingers
- polydactyly
49
what is spatio-temporal imaging correlation STIC
- motion gated scanning method
| - demonstrates functional and anatomical information from one full cardiac cycle
50
what view is needed to perform STIC
- 4 chamber
