The length of a pulse does not directly influence the temporal resolution.

The mode that produces lines related to the changing position of reflectors in the body with respect to time is called

Postprocessing of image data occurs after the data has been stored in the scan converter.

All of the following terms describe the shape of a sound wave created by a tiny fragment of PZT EXCEPT:

The diameter of a disc-shaped, unfocused piezoelectric crystal is 1.2 cm. The near zone length is 8 cm. What is the best estimate for the lateral resolution at a depth of 16 cm?

With a mechanical transducer, foci exist at multiple depths as an ultrasound beam propagates through the body.

Both linear and phased array technologies have the ability to variably focus an ultrasound beam to different depths

How are the piezoelectric crystals excited when using an ultrasound system with a sequential linear array transducer?

Which two controls determine a systems temporal resolution?

An ultrasound system with a longer pulse duration will generally have better temporal resolution.
