Range Equation - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to today's lesson about attenuation in ultrasound imaging. This lesson will focus on the range equation, the thirteen microsecond rule, the relationship between pulse repetition period, PRP, and imaging depth, PRP calculations, and artifacts associated with the incorrect application of the range equation. Understanding these principles is critical for accurate image acquisition and interpretation in diagnostic medical sonography. Let's get started. Ultrasound imaging is based on the principle of locating structures within the body by determining where echoes originate. In order to create an accurate two or three-dimensional image in ultrasound, we must know the depth and direction of reflectors, which are the structures within the body that reflect the echoes back to the transducer. By gathering this information, we can accurately determine the
