Q

what is the relationship between frame rate and time required to make a single image?

Q

how does the number of pulses in each image affect temporal resolution?

A

hight frame rates are possible when each individual image is made with fewer pulses, lower frame rates occur when each image is made with more pulses, pulses per frame and frame rate are inversely related

Q

muti-focusing ______ the frame rate, and diminishes temporal resolution

A

decreases

17
Q

one pulse per scan line, shorter time frame, higher frame rate, better temporal resolution, poorer lateral resolution is?

A

single focus

18
Q

many pulses per scan line, longer time frame, lower frame rate, diminished temporal resolution, improved lateral resolution is?

A

multi-focus

19
Q

what is the main advantage of multiple focal zones?

A

improves accuracy of the individual images, each scan has better lateral resolution

20
Q

how do you determine the time needed to make a single frame

A

T frame= # pulses x PRF

21
Q

when the sonographer expands the sector size ______ pulses are required to create an image

A

more- temporal resolution decreases

22
Q

fewer pulses per frame, shorter frame time, higher frame rate, and superior temporal resolution is?

A

narrow sector

23
Q

more pulses per frame, longer frame time, lower frame rate, and inferior temporal resolution is?

A

wider sector

24
Q

when the US system alters the spacing between sound beams

A

line density

25
Q

when lines are spaced far apart

A

low line density

26
Q

when lines are closely packed

A

high line density

27
Q

when line density is ______ few pulses create each image, the frame rate is high, temporal resolution is high

A

low

28
Q

when line density is ______ the number of pulses per image increases, the frame rate drops and the temporal resolution decreases

A

high

29
Q

what is the main advantage of high line density?

A

improve the accuracy of each individual image, each image contains more detail aka improves spatial resolution

30
Q

widely spaced lines, fewer pulses per frame, shorter frame time, higher frame rate, high temporal resolution, and poor spatial resolution is?

A

low line density

31
Q

tightly packed lines, more pulses per frame, longer frame time, lower frame rate, low temporal resolution, and excellent spatial resolution is?

high line density

32
Q

______ resolution improves with multi-focusing, ______ resolution improves with higher line density

A

lateral, spatial

33
Q

shallower imaging, single focus, narrow sector, and low line density is?

A

better temporal- higher frame rate

34
Q

deeper imaging, multiple focal points, wider sector, high line density is?

A

worse temporal- lower frame rate
