Q

Elevation resolution

A

Minimum reflector separation perpendicular to scan plane to produce separate echoes

Operates in 3 dimension

19
Q

Elevational resolution has ____

A

Slice thickness aka section thickness / elevational plane

20
Q

Elevational resolution can preoduce

A

Section thickness artifact aka partial volume artifact

Can fill in cysts or other anechoic structures

21
Q

Poor elevation resolution will show

A

Echoes from outside the intended scan plane

Especially within anechoic structures

22
Q

HOW DO WE FIX elevational resolution artifact

A

THI—> narrower and thinner beam

Less likely to pick up echoes from other plane

Spatial compounding

23
Q

AR is less than _____mm to distinguish two seperate objects

A

1mm

24
Q

Temporal resolution

A

Being able to separate echoes in time

Poor temporal resolution is visualized as lag
