Q

Lateral resolution

A

Minimum reflector separation perpendicular to scan line to produce separate echoes
- horizontal line

17
Q

What is the formula for lateral resolution?

A

LR = Wb

  • LR = lateral resolution
  • Wb = width of beam
18
Q

What is the unit for lateral resolution?

A

mm

19
Q

What happens in lateral resolution of the resolution is too high?

A

You get a smearing effect

20
Q

What happens if the beam is narrower than reflector separation in lateral resolution?

A

You get 2 distinct structures

21
Q

What is the lateral resolution at the focus?

A

Same as what is the beam width at the focus

22
Q

What is the formula for beam width?

A

1/2 of the aperture

23
Q

What is the best lateral resolution?

A

The smaller the better

24
Q

How is lateral resolution improved?

A

By reducing beam width

25
Q

How can you reduce the beam width in lateral resolution?

A

By adjusting the focus

- making it more narrower

26
Q

Where can you move the focus?

A

Near zone length

- NZL

27
Q

Where cant you move the focus?

A

Far zone length

28
Q
