Q

Acoustical modalities of imaging

A
  • ultrasound waves (8-80MHz)
  • axial res dependent on wavelength
  • good penetration
  • high speed in dense material
  • signal dependent on change in impedance
  • res better for small wavelengths (higher freq)
  • time of flight measurement converted to depth
  • requires immersion coupling and is often contact technique
