Sound Beam's Flashcards
(22 cards)
Near zone is known as?
Fresnel
Farmers own is known as?
Fraunhofer
Imaging is better in the
Near field
Imaging worsens in the
Far field
Focal depth or focal length formula is?
FL= ap^2 x operat freq/ 4 x C
In the focal beam lower frequency transducer has
Shallow focus
In the focal beam higher frequency has
Deeper Focus
In the focal beam the lower transducer diameter equals
Shorter focal length
In the focal beam the increase of a transducer diameter has a
Local focal length
Focal depth changes the
Diameter of the crystal
What is Huygen’s principle?
Constructive and deconstructive interference of wavelets.
Hourglass shaped
High-frequency transducer improves both
Lateral and longitudinal resolution
Higher frequency transducers produce less divergent (narrow) sound be in
Ford Field
Lower frequency transducers produce wider divergent sound beam in the
Far field
Focusing is created at the
Narrowing of the beam
Focusing improves what type of resolution?
Lateral
Focus is mainly affected in the
NZL
Focal zone
Can fixed Focus be adjusted by the sonographer
No
Electronic focusing is used by what kind of transducers?
Phased array
Electronic focusing is also known as?
Dynamic Focus or transmission zone
What are the two types of scanning?
Mechanical scanning
electronic scanning
what is Mechanical scanning?
Transducer with single crystals circular disc shaped crystals that are physically moved or rotated through a scanner pathway
