Chapter 13 Flashcards
what was the process were images were displayed one frame at a time?
static scanning
what is the systems ability to create numerous frames each second?
frame rate
what is the speed of soft tissue?
1.54 km/s
what are the units for frame rate?
hertz (Hz) per second or images per second
what are the factors affecting frame rate?
speed of sound in the medium and imaging depth
______ (pertains to accuracy in time) describes the ability to precisely position moving structures from instant to instant
temporal resolution
temporal is ______ when a system produces many frames per second, and ______ when it produces few frames per second
excellent, substandard
what is temporal resolution determined by and what are its units?
frame rate and hertz or per second
what is the relationship between frame rate and time required to make a single image?
inversely related and reciprocals
the time need to create each image increases then the frame rate decreases
what are the system settings affecting frame rate?
imaging depth and number of pulses per frame
shallowing imaging ______ frame rate and improves temporal resolution, deeper imaging ______ frame rate and degrades temporal resolution
increase, decrease
imagine depth and frame rate are directly related
short go-return time, shorter time frame, higher frame rate, and superior temporal resolution is?
shallow imaging
long go-return time, longer time frame, lower frame rate, and inferior temporal resolution is?
deep imaging
how does the number of pulses in each image affect temporal resolution?
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
what 3 factors affect the number of pulses per frame?
number of focal points, sector size, and line density
