Chapter 11 & 24 Flashcards
Axis
X=depth
Y=Amplitude
A-mode
Axis
X=depth
Z=amplitude (brightness of dot along beam)
B-mode
Axis
X=time
Y=depth
M-mode
What is the only display mode that provides informatoin regarding reflector otion with respect to time?
M-mode
wiht A-mode, what is displayed on the X-axis
depth of reflector
With M-mode, what is displayed on the y-axis
depth of reflector
which mode provides the foundation for real-time, gray scale autonomic imaging
B-mode
brightness mode
with A-mode, what is displayed on the y-axis
amplitude of the reflected signal
in M-mode, what is displayed on the x-axis
time
with B-mode, which axis is related to the strength of the reflection
Z-axis is related to strength in B-mode
small probe with PZT that measures the acoustic pressure of a sound wave
hydrophone
microprobe
sound beams force upon an object when it strikes it
radiation force
based on the interaction of light and sound
shadowing system call a Schlieren, allows us to view the shape of a sound beam in a medium
acousto-optics
calorimeter
thermocouple
liquid crystal
diveces that measure output of ultrasound transducers by absorption
conversion of sound energy into heat
measures total power in sound beam through process of absorption
energy is transformed into heat
calorimeter
tiny device that measures the temperature rise or fall in a sound beam
thermocouple
they change color based on their temperature
liquid crystals
when do we perform an ultrasound
when the benefits outweigh the risk
science of identifying and measuring the characteristics of an ultrasound beam that are relevant to its potentioal for producing biological effects
dosimetry
research out of the body
In vitro
research in the body
In vivo
