Module 9 : 3D/4D Flashcards
what are the clinical applications of 3D/4D
- fetal portrait
- nose/lips
- NTD
- hands, feet, ankles
- heart
- mullein duct anomalies
- endometrium
- IUDS
what is method 1 of 3D/4D
- free hand 2D
- transducer manually moving over the area of interest
- no measurements, no extra equipment
what si method 2 for 3D/4D
- separate transmitter created an electromagnetic flied
- sensor attached to outside of the 2D transducer
what is method 3 for 3D/4D
- mechanical
- motor within transducer provides sweep
- steered electronically without external parts
what is method 4 for 3D/4D
- matrix transducer
- cardiac applications
- more crystals
what is ROI
- region of interest
what si MPR
- multiplayer reconstruction
what is pixel
- smallest unit of 2D image
what is a voxel
- smalles unit of 3D volume data set
what do the width height and volume angle correspond to
- x,y,z
what is the volume angle
- information acquired in the z axis
- distance the transducer covers in a sweep
what comes from a slow acquisition speed
- more slices
- better quality volume
- higher resolution
what comes from a fat acquisition speed
- active fetus
- eliminates fetal motion
how does the image quality change between 2D to 3D
- SAME
- optimal 2D = optimal 3D
what 3 factors affect image quality
- maternal size
- decreased amniotic fluid
- fetal positon
how is multiplayer reconstruction does
- A= X, B=Y, C=Z
- A and B determines ROI
- C = size of volume
- B and C have lower resolution than A
- C lowest resolution
what is the red dot
- the point where all three dots intersect
what is tomographic ultrasound
- series of tomographic images
- similar to CT or MRI
what are the purpose fo rendering modes
- allows different characteristics to be highlighted
-
what is the surface smooth rendering
- gives face the smooth surfaces of skin which is popular with parents
