Pulsed Ultrasound
Pulsed Ultrasound
This video lesson explains the five pulsed sound parameters used in diagnostic ultrasound imaging: pulse repetition period (PRP), pulse repetition frequency (PRF), pulse duration, spatial pulse length, and duty factor. Students learn how these parameters differ from acoustic parameters, their units of measurement, which are operator-adjustable, and how pulse characteristics affect image quality, particularly axial resolution.

16:30 lessonHello everyone. Welcome to Prep's ultrasound Physics Registry Review course. I'm Jenna LA Care, an AR DMS certified sonographer and your guide through the exciting journey of ultrasound physics. So to describe the properties of pulsed sound used to produce an image in diagnostic medical ultrasound, we also use five pulsed sound parameters. Previously we discussed that when a question asks you...
