Q

Operating principle 1

A

Positional info is determined by knowledge of the direction of the pulse when it enters the patient and by measurement of the time it takes for each echo to return to the transducer. The proper location to present the echo can then be determined from a starting point on the display (usually at the top). With knowledge of the sound speed, the instrument uses the echo arrival time to determine the depth of the structure that produced that echo.
depth of a structure is determined by the measurement of the time it takes for the echo to return to the transducer

Q

Operating principle 2

A

sends several pulses of ultrasound through the cross section of anatomy to be imaged but does not produce a one-for-one correspondence of pulse and displayed scan line. Instead, all the echo information from throughout the anatomic cross section sis collected, and then massive computational processes determine the location and strength of each echo produced at each location in the anatomy. This approach is used in recent instruments and produces improved quality compared with principle 1.

Q

Explain the pulse-echo principle used in sonographic imaging

A

Pulses of ultrasound generated by a transducer are sent into the patient where they produce echoes at organ boundaries and within biological tissues. These echoes return to the transducer where th4ey are detected and presented on the display of a sonographic instruemtn. // Ultrasound pulses are sent into the tissues to interact with them and to obtain info about them. Then echoes return from the tissues providing info that enbables anatomic imaging and observation of motion and flow.
