Study guide 14, 15 Flashcards
1
Q
- Which component organizes in times functions?
A
Master Synchronizer
2
Q
- Which component excites the crystal?
A
Pulser (JL pg 217)
3
Q
- Choose the area on TGC where attenuation is occurring?
A
In the region of the slope, compensation corrects for the effects of increasing attenuation
4
Q
- What creates the pattern for phased array firing?
A
Beam Former
5
Q
- Make sure you know the functions of the receiver?
A
- amplification
- Compensation
- compression
- Demodulation
- Reject- Yes it is adjustable, Only weak signals affected; strong signals remain unchanged, Week echoes appear or are eliminated from image
6
Q
- Who decides the acoustic power of the sound beam ?
A
voltage (question 5 pg 237)
7
Q
- In regards the pulser which form has the electrical signal and sine wave ?
A
Continuous Wave (JL p236 Q: 2)
8
Q
- Know what can improve the signal and noise ratio (higher)?
A
Output power improves or degrades signal and noise ratio
9
Q
- If an image is to dark or to bright what are your options/what tools may you use to improve the image?
A
Amplification or output power
10
Q
- Another receiver question/know about reflector depth which receiver function can change that ?
A
PRP (pulse repetition period)
11
Q
- Know about PRP and PRF?
A
They are inversely related. Shallow imaging- Shorter listening time, shorter PRP, Higher PRF Deep Imaging- Longer listening time, longer PRP, lower PRF
12
Q
- Know the components about an U/S system
A
pg 216 Transducer, pulser/beam former, receiver,display,storage,and master synchronizer
13
Q
- Know which choices to use when you have to much brightness on your image which would be a better choice-
A
Amplification is the better choice due to bioeffects and ALARA
14
Q
- Which function effects the strength of every signal?
A
Compression
15
Q
- Know the dis advangtes of analog scan converter?
A
Image fade, Image flicker, Instability, Deterioration
