Mechanical scanning produces pictures that are similar in shape to linear phased array images
True
Many active elements fire at almost the same time in a mechanical scanner
False
There is only one active element in a mechanical scanner
Many active elements fire at almost the same time in a phased array scanner
True
Which transducer is best described as mechanically steered and fixed, single focus?
mechanical
Which transducer is best described as mechanically steered and multi-focus?
Annular phased array
Which transducer creates a rectangular shaped image?
linear sequential array
A linear phased array transducer has 128 crystals. How many of these crystals are fired to create a single sound beam?
128
With linear phased array transducers, all the active elements are fired
A linear sequential array transducer has 128 crystals. How many of these crystals are fired to create a single sound beam?
a small group
With linear sequential array transducers, a small group of active elements are fired
In a linear phased array, what is the firing pattern that steers a beam to the left or right?
The firing pattern that steers a beam to the left or right is electronic slope
In linear phased arrays, what is the firing pattern that focuses a sound beam?
The firing pattern that focuses a sound beam is electronic curvature
There are large time delays in the firing pattern of a linear phased array transducer
False
there are tiny time delays
A machine that displays A-mode and two-dimensional images is called a duplex scanner
False
a machine that displays Doppler and 2D images is a duplex scanner
Which transducer improves elevational resolution?
1 1/2 dimensional array
Side lobes degrade axial resolution
False
Side lobes degrade lateral resolution
True
Which form of resolution improves when frame rate increases?
temporal resolution
temporal resolution is directly related to frame rate
higher frame rates improve temporal resolution
