25
What is the formula for impedance?
Z=density x speed Z=p x c
26
What is the unit for density?
kg/m3
27
What is the unit for speed?
m/sec
28
What is the formula for % reflected?
100-% transmission or [(Z2-Z1)/(Z2+Z1)]2X100
29
What does the "¼ λ matching layer" do?
It elminates reflecting waves by constructive and destructive interference.
30
Waves offset by ½ λ results in what?
Total destructive interference. ¼ λ (out to surface)+¼ λ(back from surface)=½ λ
31
What is the impedance of soft tissue?
1.7MR
32
What is the equation for ¼ λ matching layer?
ZML=√ZPZTxZST
33
What does a big difference in impedances lead to?
Reflection.
34
What is destructive interference?
When 2 waves come together and cancel eachotherout.
35
What does into creating a sound wave?
* Start with a piezoelectric transducer * Apply alternating electric voltage across PZT * Expand and contract PZT * Exerts pressure wave (sound) from PZT surface * Transmitted into tissues→reflected from tissue * Reflected pressure wave deforms PZT→Voltage
36
What is the lateral resolution affected by?
Beam width.
37
What are the 3 parts of the beam width?
Converge→Focus→Diverge
38
What does a smaller BW signify?
Better lateral resolution
39
What are the effects of the transducer frequency on beam?
* The **higher** the frequency, the smaller divergence in the far field. **BUT...THE HIGHER THE FREQUENCY, THE GREATER THE ATTENUATION.**
40
What is the near field also known as?
Near zone length or **fresnel zone.**
41
What is the end of the **near zone length** known as?
Focus
42
What is the equation for the NZL?
NZL=D2/4 λ
43
What is the equation for λ?
λ=c/f
44
What is the farfield also known as?
Fraunhoffer Zone
45
What is the equation for the Fraunhoffer Zone?
SINØ=1.2c/Df
46
What happens to frequency if SINØ increases?
Frequency decreases.
47
What are the 3 resolution planes?
1. Lateral resolution 2. Axial resolution 3. Elevation resolution
48
What is resolution?
It os the bility to see two objects as seperate.
49
What is lateral resolution?
It is the ability to distinguish 2 structures that are perpendicular to the direction of the beam.
50
What does lateral resolution consist of?
**L-A-T-A** LATERAL ANGULAR TRANSVERSE AZIMUTHAL
51
What is lateral resolution associated with?
Beam width.
52
What does determines beam width?
It varies with depth.
53
Where can you find the best lateral resolution?
At the focus (narrowest=D/2)
54
What does axial resolution consist of?
**L-A-R-R-D** * Longitudinal * Axial * Range/radial * Depth
55
Describe axial resolution:
Pulse duration
56
57
In axial resolution, what creates a better resolution?
Shorter pulse durations.
58
What is the formula for axial resolution
PD=Nc\*T T=1/f
59
If the pulse duration goes up, what happens to the brandwidth?
BDW goes down
60
The bigger the BDW, the _____ the quality.
Worst.
61
Which plane is known as the "forgotten" plane?
Elevation plane.
62
Elevation resolution is similar to what?
Lateral resolution.
63
Where is the best resolution seen in an elevation plane?
At the focus.
64
What is a huygen?
It is a basic assembly. * It is a row of single element transducers * Individual electrical signals to each transducer * Grouped together to form an image.
65
What is huygen's principle?
It has phase delays to transducer and it allows for beam steering and focusing.
