How Does Ultrasound Work?
![Page 7: Basics of Ultrasound Physics · 2018-08-02 · 2 USCAN Other Regions Clinical Ultrasound • Mode of medical imaging with wide array of clinical applications • Clinical applications](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040900/5e6ed01cc9eab951513d31f5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Transducers
Any device that converts one form of energy into another.
Examples:
• A microphone converts mechanical energy waves or sound into electrical energy waves
• A light bulb converts electrical energy into light and heat
![Page 8: Basics of Ultrasound Physics · 2018-08-02 · 2 USCAN Other Regions Clinical Ultrasound • Mode of medical imaging with wide array of clinical applications • Clinical applications](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040900/5e6ed01cc9eab951513d31f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Ultrasound Transducer
• An ultrasound transducer converts electrical energy into acoustic pulses (sound) and transmits them into the body
• The transducer then acts as the receiver of the reflected echoes and converts them into electrical signals which are processed as an image
![Page 9: Basics of Ultrasound Physics · 2018-08-02 · 2 USCAN Other Regions Clinical Ultrasound • Mode of medical imaging with wide array of clinical applications • Clinical applications](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040900/5e6ed01cc9eab951513d31f5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Pulsed Echo Ultrasound
• A few cycles of ultrasound are separated in time by gaps of no signal
• The transducer “sends” a pulse less than 1% of the time and “listens” for returning echoes more than 99% of the time

•
NEVER heat sterilize an ultrasound transducer
Crystals are delicate, avoid dropping transducers especially on the face of the probe
NEVER use a transducer with a cracked housing or frayed/damaged cord

Attenuation and Frequency
Attenuation is the weakening of the ultrasound wave as it passes through tissue and returns to the sound source.
• High frequency ultrasound pulses are attenuated faster than low frequency ultrasound pulses
• Low frequency ultrasound pulses are attenuated slower than high frequency ultrasound pulses
• Attenuation in soft tissue = 0.5 to 1 dB/cm/MHz

ALARA Principle
• The ALARA Principle (as low as reasonably achievable)
• The potential benefits and risks of each examination should be considered
• Consider this principle when adjusting controls that affect the acoustic output and by considering length of scan time
