Ultrasound Physics - Video Notes Practice Flashcards

Flashcards cover prefixes, wave properties, pulsed vs continuous ultrasound, and beam/characteristic measurements (Wavelength, speed, frequency, PRP/PRF/PD/DF, SPL, and intensity metrics) based on the provided lecture notes.

What is meant by 'probe frequency is not adjustable' in these notes?

This refers to the fact that the inherent resonant frequency range of an ultrasound probe is determined by its physical construction and cannot be altered. However, modern ultrasound systems allow selection of specific operating frequencies within that designed range for different imaging purposes.
