Two Dimensional Imaging Flashcards
this transducer contains one disc shaped element, like a coin, It has mechanical steering and it is conventional or fixed focus. It is fan or sector shaped and if the crystal is damaged it will destroy the entire image.
Mechanical scanning
Creates beam steering
Electronic slope
Creates beam transmit focusing
Electronic curvature
Creates electronic patterns for steering and focus
Beam former
Phase delays during reception which can be applied to the electrical signals from the transducer to the ultrasound system. This provides focusing at many depths during reception.
Dynamic receive focusing
This type of imaging accurately measures volumes of structures such as cysts
