Transducer of ultrasound machine

2011-07-14T09:46:00.000-07:00

A device that converts one form of energy to another
Piezoelectric crystal: a crystal that produces (+) and (-) electrical charges when it contracts or expands
Crystal of quartz, barium titanate, lead zirconate, or titanate housed within transducer
Reverse (indirect) piezoelectric effect: occurs when an alternating current is passed through a crystal resulting in contraction & expansion of the crystal
US is produced through the reverse piezoelectric effect
Vibration of crystal results in high-frequency sound waves
Fresnal zone (near field) – area of the ultrasound beam on the transducer used for therapeutic purposes
Longitudinal waves – molecular displacement is along direction in which waves travel (bungee cord)
Compression – regions of high molecular density (molecules in high pressure areas compress)
Rarefraction – regions of low molecular density (molecules in low pressure areas expand)
Transverse waves – molecular displacement in direction perpendicular to wave (guitar string)

Influences on the Transmission of Energy:-
Reflection – occurs when the wave can’t pass through the next density

Refraction – is the bending of waves as a result of a change in the speed of a wave as it enters a medium with a different density

Absorption – occurs by the tissue collecting the wave’s energy
Decrease in a wave’s intensity resulting from absorption, reflection, & refraction
 as the frequency of US is  because of molecular friction the waves must overcome in order to pass through tissues

US penetrates through tissue high in water content & is absorbed in dense tissues high in protein

 Absorption =  Frequency (3 MHz) , and
 Penetration =  Absorption (1 MHz) , so
 Penetration =  Frequency +  Absorption (1 MHz)

Tissues  water content = low absorption rate (fat)
Tissues  protein content = high absorption rate (peripheral nerve, bone)
Muscle is in between both
Spatial Average Temporal Peak Intensity (SATP): average intensity during the “on” time of the pulse
Output meter displays the SATP intensity

Spatial Peak Intensity (SPI): max. output (power) produced within an ultrasound beam

Spatial Average Temporal Average Intensity (SATA) or Temporal (time) Average Intensity:
Power of US energy delivered to tissues over a given period of time
Only meaningful for Pulsed US
SAI x Duty Cycles
Ratio between the spatial peak intensity (SPI) to the average output as reported on the unit’s meter
The lower the BNR, the more uniform the beam is
A BNR greater than 8:1 is unsafe
Because of the existence of high-intensity areas in the beam (hot spots), it is necessary to keep the US head moving
Soft tissue healing & repair
Joint contractures & scar tissue
Muscle spasm,Neuroma,Trigger areas,Warts

Ultrasound in Medicine

2011-07-14T09:40:00.000-07:00

Ultrasound is simply sound that has a very high frequency.
Humans are not able to hear ultrasound, though some animals can hear them.
Sounds with frequencies above 20 000 hertz are called ultrasounds.Ultrasound is used for examining soft tissue inside the body.
Parts of the body that may be examined include muscles and unborn babies.
Blood flow can also be monitored using ultrasound.Modern ultrasound equipment can produce 3D images The images so far have been of static images, ultrasound captures movement.
This baby is so pleased to see you it’s waving!Ultrasound is very safe. There is no firm evidence that it does any harm to the body (or the baby in the case of pregnancy scans).
X-rays are potentially dangerous, particularly to young children and pregnant women (they damage the unborn baby).Medical ultrasound systems use very high frequencies - several megahertz (mega means million or 106).
A sound is a wave it has all the usual wave properties (reflection, refraction, diffraction). Ultrasound imaging makes use of the fact that sound can be reflected.
The idea is just like that used in radar and sonar.
A thin layer of jelly is placed between the probe and the skin to make sure all the sound enters the body.
The probe contains a transmitter and a receiver.
A pulse of ultrasound is sent out by the transmitter.
The pulse is reflected from a surface and returns to the receiver.The ultrasound machine measures how long it takes for the pulse to return
Colour enhancement to show blood flow
Digital files for examination on computers

Millions of sound waves are transmitted every second.
As the waves reflected at different times, the computer in the ultrasound machine calculates how far the wave travelled before being reflected (using d=vt).
Using this information the computer builds up an image of the inside of the patient.
Ultrasound is sound with a frequency above 20 000 Hz. If you have just said that it is a sound we cannot hear, that is not quite accurate enough.
Ultrasound can be used for examining soft tissue inside the body. For example, muscle, the heart and unborn babies.
The following are ultrasound frequencies:
23 000 Hz, 36 kHz, 4 MHz, 0.58 MHz, 600 000 Hz
Ultrasound does not have any damaging effect on the body. It is entirely safe to use, even on very young foetuses. X-rays are harmful, particularly on young and unborn children.
Most of the problems involving ultrasound need you to use v=d/t or v=fl
Things to look out for:
Units- time will often be in milliseconds (ms). Take care not to get this confused with metres per second (m/s or ms-1). and distances may be in mm or cm
There will often be an echo (or reflection involved. This means that you will need to think carefully about the times and distances involved.

Ultrasound Imaging System

2011-07-14T09:30:00.000-07:00

The Ultrasound Machine A basic ultrasound machine has the following parts: Transducer probe - probe that sends and receives the sound waves Central processing unit (CPU) - computer that does all of the calculations and contains the electrical power supplies for itself and the transducer probe Transducer pulse controls - changes the amplitude, frequency and duration of the pulses emitted from the transducer probe Display - displays the image from the ultrasound data processed by the CPU Keyboard/cursor - inputs data and takes measurements from the display Disk storage device (hard, floppy, CD) - stores the acquired images Printer - prints the image from the displayed data

The basic functional components of an ultrasound imaging system are shown below. THE ULTRASOUND IMAGING SYSTEM
Modern ultrasound systems use digital computer electronics to control most of the functions in the imaging process. Transducer Pulse Generator Amplification Scan Generator Scan Converter Image Processor Display We will now consider some of these functions in more detail and how they contribute to image formation.

PRINCIPLE AND APPLICATION OF ULTRASOUND IN VETERINARY PRACTICE

2011-07-14T09:28:00.000-07:00

INTRODUCTION : INTRODUCTION Ultrasonography is the second most commonly used imaging format Important part of specialty areas in clinical veterinary medicine - internal medicine - gynaecology and obstretics - surgery - cardiology - gastro - enterology - orthopaedics and - ophthalmology Insights into basic anatomy and physiological processes Almost all organs and tissues are now accessible Minimally invasive imaging method Least hazards

WHAT IS ULTRASOUND? : WHAT IS ULTRASOUND? Ultrasound or ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves and their echoes.
Ultrasound : Ultrasound Ultrasound is defined as sound waves of frequencies greater than 20,000 Hz. Frequency range of 1-10MHz (max.20MHz) used in medical and veterinary diagnostics No disturbance to animals at employed diagnostic frequencies A sound wave travels in a pulse and when it is reflected back it becomes and echo. It is the pulse echo principle, which is used for ultrasound imaging. No propagation in vacuum and poor transmission in gases Generated by piezoelectric materials.

Principle : Principle A pulse is generated by one or more piezoelectric crystals in an ultrasound transducer. When these crystals are stimulated electrically it changes its shape and produces sound waves of particular frequencies. The frequency of a transducer is determined by the times the crystals expands and contracts per second. In an ultrasound scanner the crystal is shocked by a short pulse of electricity to vibrate.
Basic Ultrasound Machine : Basic Ultrasound Machine Components - Central Processing Unit (CPU) - Transducer probe - Transducer Pulse Controls: - Display - Keyboard/Cursor - Disk Storage - Printers
As the transducer is placed in close contact with the body surface through a coupling medium, it undergoes continuous modification that occurs through three processes Absorption, Reflection And scattering.
Absorption: : Absorption: It occurs when the energy in the sound beam is absorbed by the tissues thereby converting it into heat. Absorption process forms the basis of therapeutic ultrasound.
Reflection : Reflection It is the redirection of a portion of the ultrasound beam back towards the source. The reflection gives rise to echo and forms the basis of diagnostic ultrasound. These echoes are converted by piezoelectric effect into electric signals that are displayed onto on oscilloscope screen.
Scattering : Scattering It occurs when the beam encounters an interface that is irregular and smaller than the sound beam. The portion of the beam that interacts with this interface is scattered in all the directions. Two closely related phenomenons occur, refraction and diffraction of which refraction is a common cause of artifacts.
Echo quantification : Echo quantification For displaying this echo amplitude information, different modes are used.
Display Modes : A-mode (amplitude) : Display Modes : A-mode (amplitude) Reflective surfaces are displayed as vertical spikes with different amplitudes along baseline Application: Echo-encephalography Echo-ophthalmography Pregnancy diagnosis (previously).
B-mode (brightness) : B-mode (brightness) Returning echoes are displayed as dots with varying brightness on the monitor Brightness or grey scale.
2-D Brightness mode: - Assembles numerous 1-D scan in to 2-D US image - Echoes traced along vertical line.
Interfaces that are stationary- are seen in straight line Interfaces that re in motion –are seen as wiggly line.
Real Time Mode : Real Time Mode Static organs: Slow frame rate & high scan line density Cardiological scans: Higher frame rate.
3-D ultrasound - ultrasound waves are directed from multiple angles - waves are reflected back and captured, providing very detailed 3-dimensional images of the baby 4-D ultrasound - the process of streaming 3-D images into live, real-time video of the baby. This allows viewers to see real-time motion.
Triangular or pie shaped (Sector) Use: Echocardiography,Sonography of intra pelvic & intra thoracic organs, brain, eyes, testes & joints.
Rectangular linear (Linear) Use: Sonography of abdominal organs (extra thoracic) Sonography of superficial structure (skin, mammary gland, joints and tendons).
Trapezoid convex (Curved array) Use: Abdominal ultrasonography Pregnancy diagnosis.
Endorectal Transducer : Endorectal Transducer Transducer with attached biopsy guide system and inserted needle Provide advantage of US beam offset by 45 degree.
Scanning procedure: : Scanning procedure: Ultrasonography involves considerable cooperation between the patient and the sonologist. The transducer must be in close contact with the patients skin to have minimum attenuation of the sound beam. In Vety. Patients it requires clipping of hair and cleaning of skin. There should not be any air between the transducer and skin, as it will completely block the beam. So good contact is provided by application of mineral oil or an aqueous gel between the transducer and contact surface. Any coupling medium should be applied liberally. Both gas and bone acts as a barrier to ultrasound beam as these reflect the beam. Therefore, a proper acoustic window should be formed to visualize the organ.

ultrasonic stencil cleaner

2011-06-04T07:27:00.000-07:00

Ultrasonic Stencil Cleaners
Ultrasonic technology utilizes precisely controlled sound waves to remove un-reflowed solder paste and uncured adhesives from stencils, screens, and misprints. Unlike other technologies that can damage delicate stencils, ultrasonic energy is gentle enough not to damage delicate parts, but is highly effective in the removal of even dried pastes on fine-pitch stencils.

With normal cloth wipe cleaning of stencils, solder paste residue is left behind causing quality problems especially in fine pitch applications. Small amounts of solder balls have a tendency to adhere to the

edges of apertures. Sawa Stencil Cleaners remove all solder paste residue utilizing ultrasonic vibration.

• Can be used for stencil cleaning, probe-pin cleaning,

solder cleaning, and nozzle cleaning

• Improve assembly defect

• Reduce solvent usage

• Lower initial investment

• Portable size

• Squeegees, scrapers, and test printed PC boards may be cleaned in the tank

• Most of solvents can be used for cleaning.

removes solder balls

from stencil apertures after normal wipe cleaning. A powerful hand held ultrasonic cleaning head (W4.61xD4.61xH3.94 in) is manually applied over apertures with IPA, water, or an non-VOC solvent. During application

of the cleaning head, the stencil is laid on a foam pad soaked with solvent

contained within a large tray. The foam is utilized to capture solder balls dislodged by the cleaning head.

For most SMT lines, IC testers are used to uncover product defects. However, the precision of IC testers can be greatly affected by the cleanliness of the pins. SAWA CLEAN SC-139GAE is uniquely designed

for accessible and complete cleaning of ICT fixtures and may also be used for squeegees, scrapers and misprinted PCBs.

Immersion Transducers
An immersion transducer is a single element longitudinal wave transducer with a 1/4 wavelength layer acoustically matched to water. Immersion transducers are specifically designed to transmit ultrasound in applications where the test parts are partially or wholly immersed in water, which allows a uniform and fast coupling technique for rapid scanning of parts. Focusing lens can be added to increase transducer sensitivity and performance in a particular area of a part. Immersion transducers can be focused either spherically or cylindrically upon request within the allowable focal range for a given frequency and element size.

Advantages:

The immersion technique provides a means of uniform coupling
Quarter wavelength matching layer increases sound energy output
Corrosion resistant 303 stainless steel case with chrome-plated brass connectors
Proprietary RF shielding for improved signal-to-noise characteristics in critical applications
All immersion transducers, except paintbrush, can be focused spherically (spot) or cylindrically (line) (see Technical Notes page 45)
Customer specified focal length concentrates the sound beam to increase sensitivity to small reflectors
Applications:
Automated scanning
On-line thickness gaging
High speed flaw detection in pipe, bar, tube, plate, and other similar components
Time-of-flight and amplitude based imaging
Through transmission testing
Material analysis and velocity measurements

Micromachined ultrasonic transducers (cMUTs) capable of operating in immersion mode have been designed and fabricated. As with previously reported airborne results, these immersable transducers possess extremely wide bandwidths, with operation typically ranging from low MHz extending beyond 10 MHz in water. Such wide bandwidths are of interest for many imaging applications. A range of transducer arrays have been fabricated with individual element sizes ranging from 200mum - 1mm. The transducers are fabricated using an electronics-compatible micromachining process, which would allow analogue front-end electronics and transducers to be implemented on the same silicon substrate. Results will be presented from small aperture synthetic line arrays of cMUT receivers, which have been used in conjunction with a series of piezoelectric sources to allow images to be presented of reflective targets. The data is processed using a 2D Synthetic Aperture Focussing Technique (SAFT) algorithm.

ELEMENTS OF A PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCER
A transducer can be as simple as a piezoelectric disc with leads attached to both faces. Or, it can be a complex device intended to evaluate a number of materials and interfaces. In conjunction with the testing environment and a material’s physical condition, a transducer device
must be characterized by proper acoustics and mechanical construction. Therefore, the design of a modern transducer requires a knowledge of materials and the associated physics.Ultran’s years of experience have led to the evolution of an array of transducer designs suitable for a vast number of materials and test conditions.
Ultran’s transducers are classified according to acoustic series which define a specific combination of frequency ranges, bandwidths, pulse widths, and sensitivities. Ultran’s acoustic series are the heart of our transducer know-how. You can choose a specific series that you consider optimum for the performance of your materials testing requirements. If you need any assistance, please contact Ultran’s technical services department.
The housing dimensions of VLC transducers are optimum, but vary as a function of a transducer’s
frequency and active diameter.These transducers are supplied with a side-mounted standard BNC connector. For all other variations, please contact Ultran.All transducers are furnished with acoustic
characterization reports at no extra charge.
The Adult Echocardiography courses provide an introduction to basic cardiac ultrasound techniques, including two-dimensional and m-mode echocardiography and spectral and color flow Doppler. A combined lecture and hands-on porcine heart dissection format provides coverage of relevant cardiac anatomy. An introduction to basic ultrasound and Doppler physics is followed by an overview of normal and abnormal patterns as well as quantitative analysis. Pathophysiology relevant to common cardiac diagnoses is covered in a systematic fashion. While brief overviews of advanced techniques such as transesophageal and stress echocardiography are provided, the emphasis is on fundamental and practical aspects of adult echocardiography. There are several interpretation workshops and a guided self-assessment workbook. An extensive syllabus with lecture summaries and recent reprints is provided to each participant. Several small-group scanning labs are conducted using up-to-date equipment from most of the major manufacturers to provide practical “hands-on” experience.
Dalane W. Kitzman, MD, Director; Pam Burgess, RDCS, RDMS, RVT, Coordinator.
Learner Objectives
At the conclusion of this continuing medical education activity, the participant should be better able to:
• Identify the basic sonographic anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system.
• Interpret the fundamental physical principles of cardiac ultrasound.
• Discuss pathophysiology and echocardiographic diagnoses of common adult cardiac disorders.

Other applications include multiplanar imaging of the pelvic organs (including endovaginal 4D imaging). This developing technology is also being used in some diagnostic medical procedures such as biopsies and enhanced visualization of cardiac structures.National Ultrasound offers a variety of 3D/4D Ultrasound systems from brands such as GE Voluson i, GE Voluson e, GE Voluson E8, Voluson 730 Expert, Medison Sonoace 8000, Sonoace 9900 or Toshiba with the Xario and Apilo.
Radiology Veterinarian
It is very safe to use and does not appear to cause any adverse effects, although information on this is not well documented. It is also relatively inexpensive and quick to perform. Ultrasound scanners can be taken to critically ill patients in intensive care units, avoiding the danger caused while moving the patient to the radiology department. The real time moving image obtained can be used to guide drainage and biopsy procedures. Doppler capabilities on modern scanners allow the blood flow in arteries and veins to be assessed. National Ultrasound carries a full line of these systems for General Radiology. The are usually the top of the line shared service systems, able to perform all disciplines in the hospital and Clinicla setting.

ER
Portable Ultrasound Systems

As ultrasound machines become more compact and their image quality more precise, doctors have begun carrying the body-imaging technology to rural U.S. hospitals and developing countries. No longer is ultrasound available only to hospitals with reliable power supplies and room for bulky equipment. The fledgling industry of portable ultrasound units has grown rapidly the past two years and it's expected to become an even bigger part of the ultrasound market. It is dominated by Sonosite of Bothell, Wash., and GE Healthcare, based in the Milwaukee. Each commands about 40% of the worldwide market. Sonosite pioneered the technology of hand-carried units in 1999. Industry leader GE health care entered that market later — in 2002. The portable battery-operated machines aren't expected to completely replace standard console-sized units, just as laptop computers haven't rendered desktop models obsolete.

Pelvis Ultrasound procedure

2010-08-17T11:01:00.000-07:00

Pelvis Ultrasound for men, Pelvis Ultrasound for women,Pelvis Ultrasound for children:
what can we find with Pelvis Ultrasound?
what is the Pelvis Ultrasound?
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves exposing part of the body
to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams do not
use ionizing radiation (as used in x-rays). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can
show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood
vessels.
Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical
conditions.
A pelvic ultrasound provides pictures of the structures and organs in the lower abdomen or pelvis.
There are three types of pelvic ultrasound:
abdominal (transabdominal)
vaginal (transvaginal, endovaginal) for women
rectal (transrectal) for men
A Doppler ultrasound exam may be part of a pelvic ultrasound examination.
Doppler ultrasound is a special ultrasound technique that evaluates blood flow through a blood vessel,
including the body's major arteries and veins in the abdomen, arms, legs and neck.
What are some common uses of the procedure?
In women, a pelvic or abdominal ultrasound is most often performed to evaluate
the:
bladder.
ovaries.
uterus.
cervix.
fallopian tubes.
Pelvic ultrasound exams are also used to monitor the health and development of an embryo or fetus
during pregnancy.
pelvic pain
abnormal bleeding
other menstrual problems
and help identify:
palpable masses such as ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids
ovarian or uterine cancers
A transvaginal ultrasound is usually performed to view the endometrium or
the lining of the uterus, including its thickness, and the ovaries.
Transvaginal ultrasound also affords a good way to evaluate the muscular
walls of the uterus, called the myometrium. Sonohysterography allows for a
more in-depth investigation of the uterine cavity. These exams are typically
performed to detect:
uterine anomalies
uterine scars
endometrial polyps
fibroids
cancer, especially in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding
In men, a pelvic or abdominal ultrasound is used to evaluate the:
bladder
seminal vesicles
prostate
Transrectal ultrasound, a special study usually done to view the prostate gland, involves inserting a
specialized ultrasound transducer into a man's rectum.
In men and women, a pelvic ultrasound exam can help identify:
kidney stones.
bladder tumors.
other disorders of the urinary bladder.
In children, pelvic or abdominal ultrasound can help evaluate:
early or delayed puberty in girls.
pelvic pain.
appendicitis.
ambiguous genitalia and anomalies of the pelvic organs.
pelvic masses in children.
What are the benefits vs. risks of ultrasound?

Benefits of ultrasound

Most ultrasound scanning is noninvasive (no needles or injections) and is usually painless.

Ultrasound is widely available, easy-to-use and less expensive than other imaging methods.

Ultrasound imaging does not use any ionizing radiation.

Ultrasound scanning gives a clear picture of soft tissues that do not show up well on x-ray images.

Ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality for the diagnosis and monitoring of pregnant

women and their unborn babies.

Ultrasound provides real-time imaging, making it a good tool for guiding minimally invasive

procedures such as needle biopsies and needle aspiration.

Pelvic ultrasound can help to identify and evaluate a variety of urinary and reproductive system

disorders in both sexes without even the minimal risks associated with x-ray exposure.
Risks of ultrasound

For standard diagnostic ultrasound there are no known harmful effects on humans.

PROCEDURE IN Pelvic Ultrasonography,Pelvic image procesude for Ultrasound,Endovaginal ultrasound is a painless procedure that is the same with pelvic examination,PELVIC ultrasound procedure, getting pelvic image from ultrasound, pelvic ultrasound or sonogram,If ovarian cysts are detected, a pelvic ultrasound is test to perform.The procedure for diagnosing ovarian cancer includes a physical exam, pelvic exam, ultrasound or trans-vaginal ultrasound and blood tests.The doctor too gets a clear picture of the reason for the abdominal or pelvic pain. When the doctor has asked the patient to go for complex ovarian cyst ultrasound,pelvic exam,Vaginal ultrasonography,Transrectal ultrasound,a pelvic radiograph,Pelvic ultrasound can help to identify and evaluate a variety of urinary.

The Ultrasound Technology and its use in medicine Industry

2010-08-17T10:51:00.000-07:00

What is Ultrasound Technology?

The world Ultrasound is a term often used to refer to some sound which the human ear cannot detect or hear. The actual limit of sound to be hear varies between individuals (and there is evidence to suggest it varies according to age, too), but in general the frequency of the sound which human ear can detect meaningfully is between 20Hz to 20KHz. Ultrasound begins is generally regarded as 20 KHz (usually greater than this limit). Below this frequency, sound can be heard by the human ear and is referred to as infrasound.
The components of ultrasound machine:
The major component of Ultrasound machine involved are consist of a large list, if we start counting it actually, but the Transducer of Ultrasound machine is of more importance becuase it is the part of ultrasound technology which play centeral role in all process.
Transducer of the ultrasound machine:
Ultrasound technology uses a piece of equipment called a transducer to view a target organ or life form (such as a human fetus).
Function of the Transducer of ultrasound machine:
The transducer of ultrasound machine have two majore functions:
1. produce ultrasound
2. detect the ultrasound back.
The transducer emits sound, and detects echoes which are then used by a computer to build up a picture of the target under examination.
There are no known harmful effects of ultrasound technology, making it ideal for use during pregnancy as it cannot harm the health of a fetus.

Use of Ultrasound Technology:
There are two well known use of Ultrasound Technology:
1. Medical Field
2. Industry Field

Here we will discuss these briefly these two uses of Ultrasound Technology below.

Medical Uses of Ultrasound Technology:

Ultrasound technology can be used in many other ways in addition to its most widely known use to collect information about a fetus during pregnancy. Depending on the dosage and frequency used, ultrasound can be used in a variety of ways to treat diseases and improve health.

•Detect abnormalities in other parts of the body, such as tissues and organs.
•Treat tumors using a process called focused ultrasound surgery, which uses high intensity ultrasound at a specific frequency.
•Penetrate the blood-brain barrier and deliver chemotherapy drugs to brain cells for the treatment of cancer.
•Treating cataracts, administering physiotherapy, and cleaning teeth.

The use of Ultrasound technology in Industry:
In industry, ultrasonic testing is routinely employed as a type of nondestructive testing to find flaws in objects and materials, or to measure their thickness. Generally these use a frequency of between two and ten MHz. Automated ultrasound examination is a technology used in most modern manufacturing processes, as a wide variety of materials can be examined, including plastics, metals, composites, wood, and concrete.

For the consumer, two pieces of equipment employ ultrasound technology: ultrasonic cleaners (typically used for jewelry, watches, and similar items), and ultrasonic humidifiers. Both of these items have industrial and commercial uses in addition to being available to consumers.

Ultrasound of breast cancer mammogram

2010-01-29T09:34:00.000-08:00

During an ultrasound-guided breast biopsy, your radiologist places an ultrasound probe on your breast to locate the breast abnormality.

Breast elastography has been thought for years to be the next frontier in breast cancer noninvasive diagnostics. It is in essence a manual self-exam, except that "palpation" is done by ultrasound. Since breast cancer tissue is stiffer than a normal breast, an ultrasound elastography of suspected mass has been shown to be a highly sensitive technique.

Ultrasound Contrast Agents

2010-01-29T09:14:00.000-08:00

Vascular Ultrasound Contrast Agents

Vascular ultrasound contrast agents are gas microbubbles with a diameter less than 10 µm (2 to 5 µm on average for most of the newer agents) to pass through the lung capillaries and enter into the systemic circulation. Air bubbles in that size persist in solution for only a short time; too short for systemic vascular use in medical ultrasound imaging. So the gas bubbles have to be stabilized to persist long enough and survive pressure changes in the heart.Most vascular contrast media are stabilized against dissolution and coalescence by the presence of additional materials at the gas-liquid interface. In some cases, this material is an elastic solid shell that enhances stability by supporting a strain to counter the effect of surface tension. In other cases, the material is a surfactant, or a combination of two or more surfactants.Typically the effective duration of vascular enhancement is a few minutes, after which the microbubbles dissipate. This rather short duration of vascular enhancement makes it easy to perform repeated dynamic studies. Intravenous vascular contrast agents will be used in imaging malignant tumors in the liver, kidney, ovary, pancreas, prostate, and breast. Tumor neovascularization can be a marker for angiogenesis, and Doppler signals from small tumor vessels may be detectable after contrast injection. Contrast agents are useful for evaluating vessels in a variety of organs, including those involved in renal, hepatic, and pancreatic transplants. If an area of ischemia or a stenosis is detected after contrast administration, the use of other more expensive imaging modalities, including CT and MRI, can often be avoided.

(UCA / USCA) Ultra-sono-graphy is the most commonly performed diagnostic imaging procedure. The addition of sono-graphic contrast media into routine practice, modifies the use of ultrasound in a variety of clinical applications. USCAs consist of micro-bubbles filled with air or gases and can be classified according to their pharma-cokinetics. Among the blood pool agents, transpulmonary ultrasound contrast agents offer higher diagnostic potential compared to agents that cannot pass the pulmonary capillary bed after a peripheral intravenous injection.

In addition to their vascular phase, some USCAs can exhibit a tissue- or organ-specific phase.The sonogram image quality is improved either by decreasing the reflectivity of the undesired interfaces or by increasing the backscattered echoes from the desired regions.
Different types of ultrasound contrast agents: tissue contrast agents; contrast agents for vascular enhancement; agents for targeted contrast imaging. Ultrasound contrast agents act as echo-enhancers, because of the high different acoustic impedance at the interface between gas and blood. The enhanced echo intensity is proportional to the change in acoustical impedance as the sound beam crosses from the blood to the gas in the bubbles.
The ideal qualities of an ultrasound contrast agent: high echogenicity; low attenuation; low blood solubility; low diffusivity; ability to pass through the pulmonary capillary bed; lack of biological effects with repeat doses. A typical ultrasound contrast agent consists of a thin flexible or rigid shell composed of albumin, lipid, or polymer confining a gas such as nitrogen, or a perfluorocarbon. The choice of the microbubble shell and gas has an important influence on the properties of the agent.Current generations of microbubbles have a diameter from 1 µm to 5 µm. The success of these agents is mostly dependent on the small size and on the stability of their shell, which allows passage of the microbubbles through the pulmonary circulation. Microbubbles must be made smaller than the diameter of capillaries or they would embolize and be ineffective and perhaps even dangerous. The reflectivity of these microbubbles is proportional to the fourth power of a particle diameter but also directly proportional to the concentration of the contrast agent particles themselves.Ultrasound contrast agents produce unique acoustic signatures that allow to separate their signal from tissue echoes and to depict whether they are moving or stationary. This enables the detection of capillary flow and of targeted microbubbles that are retained in tissues such as normal liver.The new generation of contrast media is characterized by prolonged persistence in the vascular bed which provides consistent enhancement of the arterial Doppler signal. Contrast agents make it also possible to perform dynamic and perfusion studies. Targeted contrast imaging agents are for example taken up by the phagocytic cell systems and thus have liver//spleen specific effects..

Submicron Ultrasound Contrast Agents

Submicron ultrasound contrast agents are gas-filled, double-walled microspheres with a diameter smaller than 1 µm that rupture when exposed to ultrasound energy at megahertz frequencies. These agents differ from traditional ultrasound contrast microbubbles in that the submicron bubbles may serve as extravascular agents. They are small enough to travel through the lymphatic system and to be extravasated from tumor neovasculature. The detection of these agents is limited by their hard shell, which requires high-pressure ultrasound insonation for shell rupture and excitation of the gas bubble. After shell rupture, the gas diffuses rapidly from submicron sized agents. The optimal processing of each echo is important.

The philosophy and the technology needed to produce this therapy delivery, distribution, and diagnostic system would be similar in some ways to those underlying the development of drug carrying liposomes or perfluorochemical emulsions. The therapeutic agent is introduced into the drop liquid under pressure, keeping it in a stable state. This combination is then added to aqueous infusion liquid containing an appropriate encapsulant, and the resultant mixture is agitated by shaking or high-energy ultrasound to emulsify the drug-bearing droplets into the aqueous phase. Once prepared in this manner, the appropriate size distribution of drops can be achieved by allowing the larger drops to be separated by sedimentation or centrifugation. When encapsulated, the drops in the composition will survive the reduction of the pressure to ambient conditions and the passage of the drops through the circulatory system.

The parts of an ultrasound machine

2010-01-29T08:30:00.000-08:00

The parts of an ultrasound machine
The main parts of the ULTRASOUND machine are as follows:

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The central processing unit CPU is the heart of an ultrasound machine. It is like a computer that contains:

the microprocessor,
memory,
amplifiers and
power supplies for the microprocessor and transducer probe.

The central processing unit is the calculation computer and contains the electrical power supplies for itself and the transducer probe.The transducer of ultrasound machine receives electrical currents from the CPU and sends electrical pulses outside towards the body which is under examination, that are created by returning echoes. The CPU of ultrasound machine does all of the calculations and processing during the operation to produce an image on the monitor, and also stores the useful processed information on a disk already attached with the system.
Transducer Pulse Controls

The operator of ultrasound machine , is called the ultrasonographer. Ultra-sono-grapher uses the transducer pulse controls to set and change the frequency of ultra-sounds pulses and duration of the ultrasound pulses. The transducer pulse controls of ultrasound machine also allow for scanning the mode of the machine. Commands from the operator are changed into fluctuating electrical currents that are applied to the piezo-electric (PZ) crystals in the transducer probe.
The transducer probe sends and receives the sound waves.
The transducer pulse controls change the amplitude, frequency and duration of the pulses emitted from the transducer probe.
Display of ultrasound machine

The display is used to display and turn the processed data from the CPU into an image. This image can be either in black-and-white image or color image, depending upon the model of the ultrasound machine. The display (oscilloscope or computer monitor) shows the image from the ultrasound data processed by the CPU.
Keyboard/Cursor of ultrasound machine

Ultrasound machines have a keyboard and a cursor. The keyboard allows the operator to add notes and to take measurements of the image.
Data input and measurements are done with the keyboard cursor.
Disk Storage of ultrasound machine

The processed data and/or images can be stored on disks. These disks can be hard disks, floppy disks, compact disks (CDs), or digital video disks (DVDs). Most of the time, ultrasound scans are filled on floppy disks and stored with the patient's medical records. Disk storage devices (FDD, HDD, CD, DVD) store the acquired images.
Printers of ultrasound machine

Most ultrasound machines have printers which are thermal. These can be used to capture a printed picture of the image from the monitor. The displayed ultrasound pictures can be printed on thermal paper, radiographic film or videotape.

B-mode machines represent the vast majority of machines used in echocardiology, obstetrical scans, abdominal scans, gynecological scans, etc.

B-mode ultrasound machines usually produce the sector (or pie segment-shaped) scans. These ultrasound scans require either a mechanical scanner transducer (the transducer moves to produce the sector scan), or a linear array transducer operated as a phased array.

Power

Since ultrasound systems require many channels, power consumption of all the front-end components—from T/R switch, through LNA, VGA, and ADC, to the digital circuitry of the beamformer—is a very critical specification. As has been pointed out above, there will always be a push to increase the front-end dynamic range in order to arrive at eventual integration of all ultrasound modes into one beamformer—a tendency that will lead towards increasing the power in the system. However, there is a corresponding need to make the ultrasound systems forever smaller—with a tendency towards reducing power. Power in digital circuits usually decreases with supply voltage; but this is not necessarily true for analog and mixed signal circuitry. Furthermore, taking into account the fact that reduced analog “headroom” tends to reduce dynamic range, there will be a limit to how low the supply voltage can go and still achieve a desired dynamic range.

analog beamforming (ABF) and digital beamforming (DBF) ultrasound systems

In analog beamforming (ABF) and digital beamforming (DBF) ultrasound systems, the received pulses reflected from a particular focal point along a beam are stored for each channel, then aligned in time, and coherently summed—this provides spatial processing gain because the noise of the channels is uncorrelated. Images may be formed as either a sequence of analog levels that are delayed with analog delay lines, summed, and converted to digital after summation (ABF)—or digitally by sampling the analog levels as close as possible to the transducer elements, storing them in a memory (FIFO), and then summing them digitally (DBF).

Use of ultrasound in Hospitals

2009-11-19T03:55:00.000-08:00

Ultrasound is the name given to high frequency sound - defined as sound with a frequency over 20 000Hz. Sounds with this frequency are too high in pitch to be heard by the human ear. (For comparison, middle-C on a standard piano is 261.626Hz.) These waves can be transmitted in beams (like light) and are used to produce live 2-D images of the internal organs. Recently it has become possible to generate 3-D images by means of ultrasound. The ultrasound pulse travels through the body and echoes off the internal organs. These ultrasound echoes are then recorded and displayed as a live image. It is used across a wide range of medical specialties including obstetrics, gynaecology, cardiology, surgery, and gastroenterology. Ultrasound is favoured in these areas as it is a safe and relatively inexpensive imaging method.
The ultrasound has become a standard procedure used during pregnancy. It can demonstrate fetal growth and can detect increasing numbers of conditions in the fetus including meningomyelocele, congenital heart disease, kidney abnormalities, hydrocephalus, anencephaly, club feet, and other deformities. Ultrasound does not produce ionizing radiation and is considered a very safe procedure for both the mother and the fetus.

In contrast to ultrasound imaging of the adult heart, standard ultrasound transducer imaging positions on the maternal abdomen are not possible or available in obstetrical ultrasound imaging due, for example, to variable fetal positions within the uterus. Accordingly, personnel acquiring images of the fetal heart cannot rely on standard transducer positions (e.g., a particular position and/or orientation on the maternal abdomen). Instead, imaging personnel are required to dynamically position the transducer in different positions and/or planes until desired images are acquired. It is due at least in part to this difference in scanning techniques between obstetrical ultrasonography and other ultrasound modalities that makes the former difficult to master.

In order to obtain power spectral information on the fetal heart rate in stages of pregnancy earlier than labor an algorithm has been developed to calculate the fetal heart rate on a beat-to-beat basis from Doppler ultrasound cardiotocographic signals. The algorithm was evaluated by comparing the calculated fetal heart rate with the heart rate determined from direct ECG signals measured with a scalp electrode. Heart rates were compared both in time and frequency domain. In the time domain the results achieved by both methods correlate well (correlation coefficient = 0.977 (p < coefficient =" 0.991">

There are different methods for Fetal weight prediction and all are used in medical science at different levels. Those methods are namely as ultrasound fetal weight estimations using Campbell, Warsof and Hadlock equations, and clinical subjective estimation by experienced obstetricians, as well as clinical objective studies (Zayed's equation). Experimental results shows that ultrasound equation provides the highest accuracy in predicting fetal weight and Hadlock's equation was more precise than the other equations. There is still a place for clinical fetal weight estimation, especially if objection methods are used. Doctors and scientist are still working in these field to improve the technology.

Two ultrasound techniques can be combined to develop a safe, non-invasive, transcutaneous method of observing the circulation in the umbilical arteries and vein in the fetus. The umbilical cord can be located by standard echo ultrasound procedures, and this information can be used to direct a Doppler ultrasound beam on to the vessels in the cord. The signals can be heard through audio headphones or recorded on a tape recorded and spectrum-analysed. It should be useful in assessing such conditions as pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth retardation. Intraplacental color Doppler flow patterns and spectral Doppler flow velocity waveforms of villous arteries in pregnancies with intrauterine growth retardation. Failure to detect intraplacental color Doppler flow signals is associated with intrauterine growth retardation and fetal distress. Flow velocity waveforms of detectable villous arteries are usually normal in intrauterine growth retardation, even in the presence of extremely abnormal umbilical artery flow velocity waveforms. Villous arteries were identified by their intraplacental color Doppler flow image, and flow velocity waveforms were obtained by superimposition of pulse-wave Doppler.

Doppler applications in pregnancy are expanding exponentially. Flow velocity waveforms provide important information 12 weeks to term, from maternal vessels, placental circulation and fetal systemic vessels, with implications for both mother and fetus. As applications proliferate, awareness of the complexity of fetal and placental circulations, in normal pregnancy and in sequential responses to compromise, has also grown. The necessary data are now available to establish core values in Doppler evaluation for at-risk pregnancies. In the compromised intrauterine growth retarded fetus, precordial veins illustrate fetal cardiac function, changing as the respiratory status declines. This Doppler information is combined with biophysical profile scoring to determine the need for and timing of intervention.

Doppler evaluation of at-risk pregnancies provides crucial prognostic and diagnostic detail about placentation and fetal adaptation. What has been research detail is now becoming the standard of care, in comprehensive fetal-maternal assessment.

Ultrasound is mostly used in:

Aorta and inferior vena cava e.g. aortic aneurysm, infiltration of the IVC
Liver, biliary tract and gall bladder e.g. hepatomegaly, liver abscess, abdominal trauma, ascites, metastases/masses in the liver, cholecystitis and/or gallstones.
Spleen e.g. splenomegaly, abdominal trauma, left abdominal mass, lymphoma or leukaemia
Pancreas e.g. malignancy, recurrent chronic pancreatitis, pseudocyst or abscess
Large and small intestine e.g. ascites, abdominal mass, to exclude other conditions in appendicitis, intussuseption and pyloric stenosis in children

Curie Temperature

2009-07-02T10:15:00.000-07:00

Ceramic materials are made up of innumberable tiny dipoles but to possess piezoelectric characteristics, the dipoles must be arranged in a specific geometric configuration. To reduce this polarization ceramic material is heated to a high temperature in a strong electric field. At this such a high temperature the dipoles are free to move and use of electric field brings them into the desired configuration and alignment. The crystals are then gradually cooled under a strong electric field till they come to room temperature. By adopting this method, dipoles become fixed and crystal possess piezoelectric properties. The temperature at which this polarization is lost called CURIE TEMPERATURE.

Transducers of Ultrasound

2009-07-02T09:43:00.000-07:00

A transducer is a device that convert one form of energy into another. Ultrasound transducers are used to convert an electric signal into ultrasonic energy that can be transmitted into tissue, and to convert ultrasonic energy reflected back from tissue into an electric energy back.
Piezoelectric crystal:
The most important part of any ultrasound transducer is a thin piezoelectric crystal. Its thick is usually in the range of 0.5 mm and is always located near the face of the transducer. When electric supply is given to crystal by two electrodes coated with a thin conducting film, it shows deformity which is called strain of the crystal.
Quartz:
Some naturally occurring materials posses piezoelectric properties, one of them is quartz. But most of the crystals used in medical field are man-made. The group of artificial piezoelectric materials is known as ferroelectrics. Barium titanate was the first of the ceramic ferroelectrics to be discovered. But now it is largely replaced with Zirconate titanate, which most commonly known as PZT. Where PZT is a registered trade name of PZT materials from the Clevite Corporation. There is a big advantage of artificial crystals is that, they can easily be converted to the shape and/or size required in any specific application. Moreover they can vibrate in any of its dimension. Mostly in medical field we use them in thickness vibration.

Diagnostic Sonography

2009-07-02T04:52:00.000-07:00

Medical or diagnostic sonography or ultrasonography is an ultrasound based diagnostic medical imaging technique. It is used to have image of muscles, tendons, and other different internal organs. One can find out the size, structure and pathological lesions with it and all other its detail on real time. It is widely used to visualize and have images a fetus. The use of ultrasound technology is comparatively inexpensive and portable then modalities forexample magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). As it donot uses any kind of ionization radations in its work, so it is considered as the safest imaging technique among all other methods. Ultrasound energy produces a mechanical pressure wave through soft tissue. When ultrasound enters the body, it causes molecular friction and heats the tissues slightly.
Sonography is used in obstetric appointments during pregnancy, some of the wellknown reason and/ or benifets taken in its use are as below:

To findout the expected date of pregnancy,
To determine the sex of the baby,
To confirm fetal viability and to determine location of fetus,
To check the location of the placenta in relation to the cervix,
To count the number of fetuses usually required in multiple pregnancy,
To assess fetal growth, fetal movement and heartbeat and to check if there is any problem or abnormality in any of above factors.
