Q

What is axial resolution?
Syn
LARRD- Longitudinal, axial, range, radial, depth

A

The ability to distinguish two structures that are close to each other front to back, parallel to, or along the beam’s main axis.

Short pulses has better resolution it has more details

Q

What is the difference between axial resolution vs lateral resolution?

A

Axial is next to each other front and back

Lateral is side by side (:) ( best at focal point)

Q

What improves LARRD resolution? (Axial)

A
Less ringing (fewer cycle in a pulse)
High frequency( shorter spl and pulse duration)
17
Q

When is axial resolution at is best?

A

With high frequency trans and shorter pulses

18
Q

What is lateral resolution ? Lata- lateral, angular, transverse, azimuthal

A

The minimum distance that two structures are separated by side-to-side or perpendicular to the sound beam that produce two distinct echoes

19
Q

What is a point spread artifact ?

A

When 2 structure are closer together than the beam width, only one wide reflection is seen on the image
