Study Notes
Ultrasound Principles
- Mechanical energy from piezoelectric materials in the probe is converted into electrical energy.
- The frequency range of ultrasound is typically between 2-18 MHz.
- Sound waves in ultrasound are interpreted by measuring the time delay and intensity of reflected sound waves, which are then converted into images.
