24
Q

Analog to digital converter

A

25
Q

Preprocessing

A

manipulating before storage in the scan convertor

TGC , log Compression , write magnification, persistence, spatial compounding, edge enhancement, fill-in interpolation

26
Q

Postprocessing

A

manipulating after storage in the scan convertor

any change after freeze frame, black/white inversion, read magnification, contrast variation, 3-D rendering

27
Q

Read Magnification

A

uses old data

postprocessing

larger pixel size

same # of pixels as in the original ROI

unchanged spatial resolution

unchanged temporal resolution

28
Q

Write Magnification

A

acquires new data

preprocessing

identical pixel size

more pixels that in the original ROI

improves spatial resolution

may improves temporal resolution

29
Q

Coded Excitation

A

method of improving image quality

creates long sound pulses containing a wide range of frequencies

occurs in pulser

30
Q

Advantages of Coded Excitation

A

higher signal to noise ratio

improved axial resolution

improved spatial resolution

improved contrast resolution

deeper penetration

31
Q

Spatial Compounding

A

method of using different angles to produce a single image

reduce speckle and shadowing

used with electrical steering / phased array only

32
Q

Frequency Compounding

A

reduce speckle and noise artifact

reflected sound wave is divided into subbands

33
Q

Edge Enhancement

A

makes image look sharper

works by increasing image contrast

creates sublte bright and dark highlights around edges to make them look more defined

34
Q

Temporal Compounding or Persistence

A

makes image smoother

“super impose”

35
Q

Fill-in Interpolation

A

predicts what information lies between the gaps and improves spatial resolution

preprocessing

36
Q

Elastography

A

measure how dense something is and have mechanical properties

37
Q

PACS

A

Picture Archiving and Communications System

Stored digitally

38
Q

DICOM

A

Digital Imaging and Computers in Medicine

set of rules, or protocols, that allows imaging system to share info on a network

assure’s communicatoin for future devices
