Pulsed Wave Repetition - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to our course on pulsed waves. In this lesson, we're going to talk about pulse repetition frequency, PRF, and its impact on imaging depth. We'll explore the inverse relationship between PRF and pulse repetition period or PRP, and how PRF settings limit the maximum scan depth. Let's get started. First, let's discuss pulse repetition frequency or PRF. PRF measured in Hertz is a fundamental parameter in diagnostic medical sonography that directly influences image quality and depth resolution. PRF refers to the number of pulses emitted by the transducer per second and has an inverse relationship with the pulse repetition period or PRP, which is the time from the beginning of one pulse to the beginning of the next pulse and is measured in milliseconds or microseconds. PRF and PRP share an in
