  3. Ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound

    Ultrasound is sound with frequencies greater than 20 kilohertz. [1] This frequency is the approximate upper audible limit of human hearing in healthy young adults. The physical principles of acoustic waves apply to any frequency range, including ultrasound.

  4. Ultrasonic transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_transducer

    Sound field of a non focusing 4 MHz ultrasonic transducer with a near field length of N = 67 mm in water. The plot shows the sound pressure at a logarithmic db-scale. Sound pressure field of the same ultrasonic transducer (4 MHz, N = 67 mm) with the transducer surface having a spherical curvature with the curvature radius R = 30 mm

  5. Sound from ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_from_ultrasound

    Sound from ultrasound is the name given here to the generation of audible sound from modulated ultrasound without using an active receiver. This happens when the modulated ultrasound passes through a nonlinear medium which acts, intentionally or unintentionally, as a demodulator .

  6. Dynamic aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_aperture

    The ratio of the imaging depth to the aperture size is known as the F-number. Dynamic aperture is keeping this number constant by growing the aperture with the imaging depth until the physical aperture cannot be increased. A modern medical ultrasound machine has a typical F-number of 0.5.

  7. Ultrasonic thickness measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_Thickness...

    In the field of industrial ultrasonic testing, ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) is a method of performing non-destructive measurement (gauging) of the local thickness of a solid element (typically made of metal, if using ultrasound testing for industrial purposes) based on the time taken by the ultrasound wave to return to the surface.

  8. Mechanical index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_index

    Mechanical index (MI) is a unitless ultrasound metric. It is defined as [1] =, where P r is the peak rarefaction pressure of the ultrasound wave , derated by an attenuation factor to account for in-tissue acoustic attenuation; f c is the center frequency of the ultrasound pulse .

  9. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

    Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.
