[All Sonography Principles and Instrumentation Questions]

Which will affect the gray-scale of a 2-D image?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Dynamic range in ultrasound imaging affects the number of gray shades displayed in a 2-D image. Adjusting the dynamic range changes how echo signals are mapped to grayscale. A higher dynamic range means more shades of gray are displayed, providing a more detailed and softer image, which is useful for differentiating subtle tissue textures. Conversely, a lower dynamic range increases contrast by displaying fewer shades of gray, making the image appear more black and white. This adjustment is crucial for optimizing image quality based on the specific diagnostic needs.

Doppler gain? Really, Dannette? Next you'll be telling me we need to account for the Coriolis effect when capturing these images!

I'm going to go with A) Doppler gain. It's the only option that seems directly related to gray-scale imaging, right?

Hmm, I'm not sure. I'm leaning towards B) Depth of field, since that can affect the overall sharpness and clarity of the image.

C) Pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is the correct answer. It determines the number of pulses sent per unit of time, which affects the image resolution and gray-scale.

I think the answer is D) Dynamic range. The gray-scale of an image is directly affected by the range of light intensities it can capture.
