Uncertainty evaluation of dead zone of diagnostic ultrasound equipment
This paper presents a model for evaluating measurement uncertainty of a feature used in the assessment of ultrasound images: dead zone. The dead zone was measured by two technicians of the INMETRO’s Laboratory of Ultrasound using a phantom and following the standard IEC/TS 61390. The uncertainty model was proposed based on the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement. For the teste...
متن کاملThe physics and technology of diagnostic ultrasound – a practitioner's guide
The physics of ultrasound is the first module in most sonography courses and students often find this topic rather daunting. However, to be a qualified sonographer, it is essential that one understands the physics of ultrasound and is able to apply it on a daily basis as it underpins the fundamentals of diagnostic ultrasound. Dr. Robert Gill is well known for his expertise in the physics and te...

متن کاملAn introduction to ultrasound equipment and knobology.
The use of ultrasonography in medical practice has evolved dramatically over the last few decades and will continue to improve as technological advances are incorporated into daily medical practice. Although ultrasound machine size and equipment have evolved, the basic principles and fundamental functions have remained essentially the same. This article reviews the general ultrasound apparatus ...
متن کاملSensor Measurements For Diagnostic Equipment
Piezoelectric sensors are widely used in accelerometers, for detecting failures in structures, and for vibration suppression systems among others. Such sensors can be manufactured in many different sizes, and packages to work in a variety of environments. The main characteristic of the piezoelectric material that allows for this effect is the conversion of mechanical to electrical energy. That ...
