Temporal Resolution Flashcards
Images per second or Measured in hertz
Frame Rate
the ability to distinguish closely timed events as separate events; and to correctly display rapidly moving structures in time
Temporal Resolution
Image Width or Sector size
Field of View
The ability of the system to distinguish two points in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the ultrasound beam
Lateral Resolution
number of scan lines in image
Line Density
the ability of an imaging system to discriminate between two adjacent high-contrast objects.
Spatial (Detail) Resolution
is the minimum difference in signal strengths from adjacent
structures that allows the observer to observe the structures as separate entities
Contrast Resolution
the rapid acquisition and manipulation of ultrasound information from a scanning probe by electronic circuits to enable images to be produced on monitor screens almost instantaneously
