29
Q

What does the “¼ λ matching layer” do?

A

It elminates reflecting waves by constructive and destructive interference.

30
Q

Waves offset by ½ λ results in what?

A

Total destructive interference.

¼ λ (out to surface)+¼ λ(back from surface)=½ λ

31

A

1.7MR

32

What is the equation for ¼ λ matching layer?

A

ZML=√ZPZTxZST

33
Q

What does a big difference in impedances lead to?

A

Reflection.

34
Q

What is destructive interference?

A

When 2 waves come together and cancel eachotherout.

35
Q

What does into creating a sound wave?

A
  • Start with a piezoelectric transducer
  • Apply alternating electric voltage across PZT
  • Expand and contract PZT
  • Exerts pressure wave (sound) from PZT surface
  • Transmitted into tissues→reflected from tissue
  • Reflected pressure wave deforms PZT→Voltage
36
Q

What is the lateral resolution affected by?

A

Beam width.

37
Q

What are the 3 parts of the beam width?

A

Converge→Focus→Diverge

38
Q

What does a smaller BW signify?

A

Better lateral resolution

39
Q

What are the effects of the transducer frequency on beam?

A
  • The higher the frequency, the smaller divergence in the far field.

BUT…THE HIGHER THE FREQUENCY, THE GREATER THE ATTENUATION.

A
  1. Lateral resolution
  2. Axial resolution
  3. Elevation resolution
48
Q

What is resolution?

A

It os the bility to see two objects as seperate.

49

52
Q

What does determines beam width?

A

It varies with depth.

53

Where can you find the best lateral resolution?

A

At the focus (narrowest=D/2)

54

What does axial resolution consist of?

A

L-A-R-R-D

  • Longitudinal
  • Axial
  • Range/radial
  • Depth
55

56
Q
A
57
Q

In axial resolution, what creates a better resolution?

A

Shorter pulse durations.

58
Q

What is the formula for axial resolution

A

PD=Nc*T

T=1/f

59
Q

If the pulse duration goes up, what happens to the brandwidth?

A

BDW goes down

60
Q

The bigger the BDW, the _____ the quality.

A

Worst.

64
Q

What is a huygen?

A

It is a basic assembly.

  • It is a row of single element transducers
  • Individual electrical signals to each transducer
  • Grouped together to form an image.
65
Q

What is huygen’s principle?

A

It has phase delays to transducer and it allows for beam steering and focusing.
