5 reciever functions

19
Q

reverse

first function

affects all signal quality

receiver gain

measured in dB

adjustable

Gain/Overall Gain knob

A

Amplification

20
Q

reverse

controls degree of echo amplification or brightness or image

too much can fill artifactual echoes into a fluid structure

too little can negate echo information

A

Gain Overall Gain

21
Q

reverse

creates and image of uniform brightness

known as TGC Time Gain Compensation

DGC Depth Gain COmpensation

sompensates for the sound wave as it weakens or attentuates

A

Compensation

22
Q

reverse

operator controlled

sliders on console

structures will be same brightness regardless of depth

A

TGC

DGC

23
Q

reverse

3rd function

keeps image grayscale content with range of human eye (20 shades)

keeps electrical signal level within accuracy range

called log compression or dynamic range (DR) most common

dB

operator controlled

A

Compression

24
Q

reverse

relative term that compares on one signal to another

important in quantifying strenght of sound beams, electrical signal strenght and brightness of image

notatoin is logarithmic

A

Decibels dB

25
Q

reverse

4th function

two part process that changes electrical signals in reciever into a more suitable form for the CRt or monitor

rectifies and smooths electrical signal

NOT adjustable

no effect on image

A

Demodulation

26
Q

reverse

5th function

controls whether low level signals will be displayed

low leve signasl can be diagnostic or noise

called threshhold or suppression

operator controlled

A

Reject

27
Q

reverse

Adjustable

all signals affected identically

entire image gets brighter or darker

A

Amplification overview

28
Q

reverse

Adjustable

signals treated differently bases on reflective depth

images will be uniformly bright from top to bottom

A

Compensation Overview

29
Q

reverse

Adjustable

Signals treated differently depending on strenght

changes grayscale mapping

A

Compression Overview

30
Q

reverse

NOT adjustable

prepares electrical signals to be suitable for display

NO effect on image

A

Demodulatoin Overview

31
Q

reverse

Adjustable

Only weak signbals affected

Strong signals remain unchanged

Weak echoes appear or are eliminated from image

A

Reject Overview

32
Q

reverse

Displays the information from returning echoes

2 user controls

brightness

contrast

A

CRT

Monitor

33
Q

reverse

patient exposure to sound energy is affected by output power NOT by reciever amplification

A

Output Power

vs

Reciever Gain

34
Q

reverse

changes brightness of image

alters signal to noise ratio

alters patient exposure

bioeffect concerns

decrease this first if image too bright

A

Output Power SUmmary

35
Q

reverse

Changes brightness of entire image

does not affect signal to noise ratio

does not change patient exposure

NO bioeffect concern

increase this first if image is too dark

A

Reciever Gain Summary

36
Q

reverse

frame averaging that allows echo information to be accumulated over time

A

Persistance

37
Q

reverse
