QUESTION 10
You are pulsing a 6 MHz ultrasound transducer. If 100% of the signal reflects back from a distance of 10 cm,
compute the signal loss in dB of the signal as it arrives back at the transducer.
(Since you are computing LOSS, the number in dB will be positive.)
QUESTION 11
Given a 90 degree field-of-view, a line density of 1.111 lines/degree, and a scan depth of 7.69 cm,
compute the resulting frame rate in frames/sec.
QUESTION 12
Due to heat generation and scatter, the ultrasound sound signal loses intensity as it travels through the tissue.
What is the mechanism employed by an ultrasound system to counteract this affect?
Scan conversion
Time gain control
Logarithmic compression
Envelope detection
QUESTION 13
What signal processing technique is used to achieve the second step in the RF signal demodulation proess?
Low pass filter
High pass filter
Discrete Fourier transform
