18
Q

MPR planes are synonymous with what?

A

The X,Y, and Z planes but they may not correlate directly depending on how the image was acquired

19
Q

21
Q

In Multislice or tomographic display mode, what can the operator do?

A

Can view several adjacent slices of anatomy all referenced to a single image

22
Q

In terms of multislice or tomographic, the operator can set what?

A

The number of lines and the space between them

23
Q

Which controls are still available for image manipulation for multislice or tomographic?

A

X, y, and Z

24
Q

Multislice or tomographic approaches can align what?

A

Protocols similar to CT and MR imaging

25
Q

What does this image demonstrate?

Multislice or tomographic

26
Q

There are several different redoing modes available to sonographers, what are some examples? 3

A
  1. Maximum
  2. Skeletal
  3. X-ray rendering eliminates the weakened echoes, focusing on the bringer reflectors from bone
27
Q

Minimum and inversion modes focus more on what?

A

The weariers echoes and can be used to highlight the fluid structure

28
Q

What is the most. Recognized type of rendering mode in sonography, popular for 3D/ 4D images of the fetus?

A

Surface rendering

29
Q

Surface rending mode shows what?

A

The superficial echoes, ignoring the underling anatomy

30
Q

In terms of surface rendering, algorithms for shading and contour can do what?

A

Be applied to give the perception of depth

31
Q

Other controls for surface rendering allows for what? (Besides shading and contour)

A

Smoothing, adding texture and gradient light

32
Q

Gradient light gives the appearance that there is what?

A

An external light source illuminating the tissue

33
Q

What does Maximum intensity projection (MIP) do?

A

This display modes works by taking the “thick” slices of anatomy and collapsing it down to overlay echoes of highest intensity

34
Q

What does MIP help create?

A

A volume appearance and can make the viewing of information easier to see

35
Q

In terms of MIP, different slice thickness and sweeping can be used to obtained what?

A

Desired information

36
Q

Biplane imaging allows the sonographer to view what?

A

Anatomy in a short and long axis simultaneously

37
Q

What is biplane imaging useful for?

A

Many applications, especially with intervention

38
Q

With the biplane probe, biplane imaging can be used in conjunction with 3D/4D to do what?

A

Increase efficiency in assessment and scan time
