System reverse Flashcards
reverse
basicas are interchangable between manufactureres
reduces scan time in a clinical setting
know your controls
Knobology
reverse
varies energy transmitted to patient
should be used at lowest level
ALARA limit
higher power=brighter image
Acoustic power/transmit power
reverse
operator controlled
determines electrical voltage to pulsar
low voltage=gentle PZT vibration
high voltage=forceful vibration
transmit power controls
reverse
creates electrical signals that excite the PZT crystals
only functions during transmission
operator controlled
0-500 volts
important in Bioeffects
Pulsar
reverse
0-500 volts
high =brighter image
also called output gain, accoustic power, energy output or transmitter output
Pulsar voltage
reverse
Thermal Index
Mechanical Index
Pulsar Standardization
reverse
random and persistant degradation
unwanted low level echoes
Noise
reverse
power increase raises ratio
quiality improves with increase
Signal to Noise ratio
reverse
determines time between voltage spikes
PRP Pulse repition Period
controlled by operator
pulser repitition
reverse
determines depth of scan
operator controlled
Pulse Repitition Period
PRP
reverse
continuous wave
vascular
Pulser single pulse
reverse
pulsed wave
imaging
Pulser numerous pulses
reverse
shorter listening time
shorter PRP
higher PRF
Shallow imaging
reverse
longer listening time
longer PRP
lower PRF
Deeper imaging
reverse
recieves the electrical spike from pulser and distributes to the active elements in an array transducer
used advanced microprocessor tech to produce digital format
Bean Former
reverse
proteects the electrical components in the reciever
Beam Former Switch
reverse
prepares information from returning echoes for display
5 functions
Reciever
