Physics reverse Flashcards
reverse
Amplitude Modulation
Distance between transducer and structure determines where an echo is seen along hte time axis
1 dimensional image
Not used anymore
A-Mode
reverse
device in which data are represented by variable, measurable, physical quantities. Length, width, voltage or pressure
Analog Scan Converter
reverse
2D presentation of echo producing interfaces.
A mode signal converted to dots which vary in brightness depending on echo strength
Brightness Modulation
B-Mode
reverse
formation of cavities in a body tissue or an organ resulting from the sudden formation and collapse of low pressure bubbles by means of mechanical forces
Cavitation
reverse
image processing device that uses a stable electronic circuit to store and manipulate ultrasonic images in memory. The device then reconstructs and displays these images simultaneously to create one image
Digital Scan Converter
reverse
change in observed frequency of a wave. Freq increases as source and observer get closer, decreases as they move apart
Doppler effect
reverse
series of shades from black to white the more shades the more realistically an image can be recorded and displayed
Gray Scale Imaging
reverse
series of B-Mode dots are displayed on moving time base graph to show moving structures
basis of echocariography prior to real time scanning
used in conjunction with real time imaging in adult, pediatric and fetal echo
M-Mode
reverse
Mechanical deformation occurs when an electrical field is applied to a crystal the crystal vibrates mechanically. When a crystal vibrates mechanically it creates an electrical field
Piezoelectric Effect
reverse
waves sent from many directions to the returns are used to build a volume image in 3 dimensions
3-D imaging
reverse
3-d imaging with the addition of real time
4-D Imaging
reverse
sound with freq above the limits of human hearing greater than 20kHz
Ultrasound
reverse
Waves that move in an up and down motoin
Transverse Waves
reverse
Waves that move in a line
Longitudinal Waves
reverse
area of wave that gets closer together
Compression
reverse
area of wave that spreads apart
Rarefaction
reverse
material through which a wave is transmitted
Medium
reverse
period

propagation
Accoustic parameters
reverse
time
Period of wave
reverse
1/time
frequency of wave
reverse
“Bigness” of wave
dofference between peak and avg value of the wave
amplitude of wave
reverse
force
rate of energy transfer or rate which work is preformed
power
reverse
concentration of strength of a wave
Intensity = watts/cm^2
intensity
reverse
distance from one peak to the next
wavelength
reverse
speed wave travels through medium (avg 1540 soft tissue)
propagation speed
reverse
measurement of frequency
Hertz
reverse
sound below the human hearing level
Infrasound
reverse
20-20kHz
Audible sound
