Time of Flight
Time of Flight
This lesson explains the range equation and time of flight concept in ultrasound imaging, which determines how the system calculates and displays the depth of anatomical structures. Students learn the mathematical relationship between sound propagation speed, round-trip travel time, and imaging depth, plus the practical 13-microsecond rule for soft tissue depth calculations.

9:26 lessonHello and welcome to Pres Ultrasound Physics Registry Review Course. I'm Jenna, an ar DMS certified sonographer and your guide through the exciting journey of ultrasound physics. So range equation describes how an ultrasound system places anatomical structures at the appropriate depth range. Equation can also be referred to as time of flight. And this describes the time that elapses from when a...
