If the depth of the natural focus is decreased by a factor of 4 what must have happened to the wavelength of the sound beam?

Identify the transducer type used for each of the following images.       A                B               C                   D

If the crystal diameter is 4 mm, what is the minimum distance a part 2 objects can be in the lateral plane and still distinguished as separate objects

Why is it more advantageous to use a concave crystal surface to focus the beam over a lens?

Choose the correct labels for the transducer below.

What is the optimal thickness for manufacturing the matching layer in the transducer?

What affect does increasing the transducer frequency have on lateral resolution?

If a sonographer increases the operating frequency from 2 MHz to 10 MHz, what will happen to the focal depth?

A sonographer changes the focal depth from 3cm to 5 cm, they are using a L12-5MHz transducer.  Indicate which transducer design feature below allows this to happen?

What mode of ultrasound is demonstrated in the image below?
