Echocardiography uses ultrasound waves to image the heart and vessels. Ultrasound transducers contain piezoelectric crystals that generate ultrasound waves when voltage is applied, and receive returning ultrasound waves to form images. Optimal echocardiograms are obtained by adjusting settings like frequency, power, frame rate, depth, focus, zoom, gain, and time gain compensation to account for tissue properties and obtain clear images of cardiac structures and function.

$• ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY * Echocardiography is the use of ultrasound waves to study the structure and function of heart and its great vessels. * The visual image formed by using the technique is called electrocardiogram. • ULTRASOUND * Sound spectrum > 20kHz * It can be directed as a beam and focused. * As it is passed through a medium it obeys the laws of reflection and laws of refraction.$

• PROPERTIES OF ULTRASOUND
a) Wave length
* Distance between successive crests of a wave.
λ=v/f λ- wavelength f – frequency of a
wave
v – velocity of a wave
* Image resolution - it decreases with increase in wavelength.
* Penetration - it increases with increasing wavelength.

b) Frequency
The number of ultrasound waves in the unit time.
Unit – Hz (hertz)
c) Velocity
It is the speed that a sound wave moves.
* velocity of propagation of ultrasound waves in the soft tissues including myocardium,
valves,
blood vessels and blood is 1540 m/s.

d) Amplitude
It isthe height of the ultrasound waves.
* Measured in decibels (dB)

TRANSDUCER
→Generate and to receive ultrasound waves.
→Constituents :
a)Piezoelectric element
b)Backing layer
c)2 electrodes
d)Matching layer

PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTALS
→Piezoelectric crystals are capable of the piezoelectric effect, which is the ability to
generate electric charge when subjected to pressure.
→ Piezoelectric effect converts mechanical energy, due to crystal deformation into
electrical energy & thus transducers recieves ultrasound waves.
Piezoelectric Crystals Eg: * Quartz
* Titanate ceramics

BACKING MATERIAL
→ plays an important role in determining the characteristics of the wave that is
produced.
MATCHING LAYER
→They are applied to provide acoustic impedance matching between the
piezoelectric elements and the body.
TWO ELECTRODES
→Electodes transmit current to the crystals and record the voltage generated by
returning signals.

TYPES OF PROBES
a) Linear probes :
→ For imaging superficial structures
→Vascular probes
b) Curve linear probes :
→ Lower frequency
→ Transabdominal imaging
c) Array probes :
→ Cardiac probes
→ Phased array of piezoelectric crystals

d) Endocavitary probes :
→ High frequency
→ Transvaginal and transrectal probes
e) TEE probes

OPTIMIZATION OF ECHO IMAGES
*Frequency
The typical range of frequencies used in adult echocardiography is 2 to 5 MHz.
*Power
Amplitude of the sending beam
Normal power =0dB
With increasing power Thermal index (TI) and Mechanical index(MI) increases and should
set up power at a MI <1.9 and TI<2.
*Frame Rate
Frame rate is influenced by several settings (imaging frequency, depth, sector width). It is
also possible to directly adjust frame rate. Frame rate determines the temporal resolution.

*Depth
-The depth determines how “deeply” into the body one wishes to image
-Depth influences spatial resolution, pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and frame
rate.
*Focus
the ultrasound beam has a focal zone.
*Zoom
Zoom permits the magnification of a selected area of interest.

*Gain
Overall gain adjusts the amplitude of the received signals over the total length of
the ultrasound beam.
When there is increase in gain, the received signals are amplified (not the sent
signal). The image becomes brighter.
Excessive increase in gain will add “noise” to the image.
If the gain is too low, tissue with a low reflector intensity will not be seen
*Time Gain Compensation
Allows differential adjustments along the length of the ultrasound beam to
compensate for the effect of attenuation

Here are quick answers to the review questions: 1. Ultrasound is high frequency sound waves that travel well through soft tissues like muscles, organs and fat. It travels poorly through gas pockets or bones. 2. Higher frequency ultrasound has better resolution but poorer penetration. Lower frequency has poorer resolution but better penetration. 3. Pros of ultrasound include lack of radiation, quick exams, ability to see different tissue planes, portability and lower cost compared to other imaging modalities. 4. Probes come in linear, convex, sector and endocavity shapes. Linear probes have a rectangular footprint for long superficial structures. Convex probes have a curved footprint for abdominal exams. Sector probes have a wedge shape for

Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body. It has several advantages over other imaging modalities like having no known long term side effects, being widely available, and being relatively inexpensive. Ultrasound works by using a transducer to send sound waves into the body which bounce off tissues and organs and are received by the transducer. The echoes are used to form images on screen in real time. While it is good for imaging soft tissues, ultrasound has limitations penetrating bone and imaging deep structures or when gas is present between the transducer and area of interest. It also requires an experienced operator to get high quality images.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. Sound waves above the range of human hearing, between 2-18 MHz, are used. The speed of sound varies in different tissues, and piezoelectric crystals in the transducer generate and detect sound waves to assess depth and direction of structures. Doppler ultrasound can detect the frequency shift of echoes from moving structures like blood cells to assess blood flow. Technological advances include 3D imaging, portable scanners, and digital storage and sharing of ultrasound images.

Ultrasound Physics Jr.pptxJonathan Chikomele

Ultrasound is produced by piezoelectric crystals in transducers that convert electrical pulses into sound waves and received echoes into electrical signals. Transducers operate in shock, burst, or continuous excitation modes. The piezoelectric crystals resonate at specific frequencies determined by their thickness and composition. Damping materials in transducers shorten pulse duration to improve image resolution by reducing echo overlap. Transducers use the pulse-echo principle to transmit sound pulses into the body and receive returning echoes to create ultrasound images.

Ultrasound technology works by using piezoelectric crystals that produce sound waves when electric current is applied. These waves travel through the body and reflect off tissues, returning echoes that are converted back to electric signals to form an image. Higher frequency waves have shorter wavelengths and provide better resolution, while lower frequencies penetrate deeper. Ultrasound modes like B-mode produce 2D images from multiple scan lines, while Doppler mode detects motion and flow. Tissue properties like density and elasticity affect how waves propagate and are displayed on ultrasound images.

pathology of atherosclerosis.pdfAnayaAnaya14

Atherosclerosis is caused by an inflammatory response to injury in the arterial wall (response to injury hypothesis) where lipids from the blood accumulate in immune cells of the inner layer of the arteries (intima). Over time, a plaque develops which can grow large enough to significantly narrow the arterial lumen. Originally, it was thought that atherosclerosis was simply a buildup or encrustation of components in the blood forming clots in the arteries (encrustation hypothesis).

heart failure.pdfAnayaAnaya14

Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs or can only do so with elevated filling pressures. It is commonly caused by chronic heart conditions that damage the heart muscle over time like heart attacks, hypertension, and valve diseases. There are two main types of heart failure - systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Systolic dysfunction refers to the heart's inability to contract properly, while diastolic dysfunction means the heart cannot relax and fill with blood adequately. Left-sided heart failure most often stems from issues like ischemic heart disease, hypertension, or valve problems that impair the left side of the heart. The clinical effects include blood backing up in the lungs and poor perfusion of tissues.

Community health nursing, also known as public health nursing, focuses on promoting and protecting the health of populations. It's a specialized nursing practice that combines public health principles with traditional nursing care to address the health needs of individuals, families, and communities. Community health nursing aims to promote and preserve population health by focusing on the broader needs of a community, not just individuals. It emphasizes health promotion, disease prevention, and recognizing the unique needs of the community. This includes activities like health education, screening, and home care, while also considering social, ecological, and economic factors that influence health. In essence, community health nursing aims to improve the health and well-being of the community as a whole, by addressing the social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health, and by empowering individuals and families to take an active role in their own health. “Community health nursing is a synthesis of nursing practice applied in promoting and preserving the health of the population. Community health implies integration of curative, preventive and promotional health services. The aim of community diagnosis is the identification of community health problems. Remarkable development in public health was successful control of many communicable diseases. Nursing and medical services were strengthened to promote positive health. Now a days more emphasis is focused on the sick to the well person, from the individual to the community. To attain Health For All through Primary Health Care led to the restructuring of the rural health services. At present Public health nurses are called as Community health nurses who are registered nurses (RN) trained to work in public health settings. It includes nursing services in all phase of health services which is organized for the welfare of the community. In 1958 Indian Nursing Council has integrated Community health into basic curriculum in nursing.

3. • PROPERTIES OF ULTRASOUND a) Wave length * Distance between successive crests of a wave. λ=v/f λ- wavelength f – frequency of a wave v – velocity of a wave * Image resolution - it decreases with increase in wavelength. * Penetration - it increases with increasing wavelength.

4. b) Frequency The number of ultrasound waves in the unit time. Unit – Hz (hertz) c) Velocity It is the speed that a sound wave moves. * velocity of propagation of ultrasound waves in the soft tissues including myocardium, valves, blood vessels and blood is 1540 m/s.

5. d) Amplitude It isthe height of the ultrasound waves. * Measured in decibels (dB)

6. TRANSDUCER →Generate and to receive ultrasound waves. →Constituents : a)Piezoelectric element b)Backing layer c)2 electrodes d)Matching layer

8. PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTALS →Piezoelectric crystals are capable of the piezoelectric effect, which is the ability to generate electric charge when subjected to pressure. → Piezoelectric effect converts mechanical energy, due to crystal deformation into electrical energy & thus transducers recieves ultrasound waves. Piezoelectric Crystals Eg: * Quartz * Titanate ceramics

9. BACKING MATERIAL → plays an important role in determining the characteristics of the wave that is produced. MATCHING LAYER →They are applied to provide acoustic impedance matching between the piezoelectric elements and the body. TWO ELECTRODES →Electodes transmit current to the crystals and record the voltage generated by returning signals.

10. TYPES OF PROBES a) Linear probes : → For imaging superficial structures →Vascular probes b) Curve linear probes : → Lower frequency → Transabdominal imaging c) Array probes : → Cardiac probes → Phased array of piezoelectric crystals

11. d) Endocavitary probes : → High frequency → Transvaginal and transrectal probes e) TEE probes

13. OPTIMIZATION OF ECHO IMAGES *Frequency The typical range of frequencies used in adult echocardiography is 2 to 5 MHz. *Power Amplitude of the sending beam Normal power =0dB With increasing power Thermal index (TI) and Mechanical index(MI) increases and should set up power at a MI <1.9 and TI<2. *Frame Rate Frame rate is influenced by several settings (imaging frequency, depth, sector width). It is also possible to directly adjust frame rate. Frame rate determines the temporal resolution.

14. *Depth -The depth determines how “deeply” into the body one wishes to image -Depth influences spatial resolution, pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and frame rate. *Focus the ultrasound beam has a focal zone. *Zoom Zoom permits the magnification of a selected area of interest.

15. *Gain Overall gain adjusts the amplitude of the received signals over the total length of the ultrasound beam. When there is increase in gain, the received signals are amplified (not the sent signal). The image becomes brighter. Excessive increase in gain will add “noise” to the image. If the gain is too low, tissue with a low reflector intensity will not be seen *Time Gain Compensation Allows differential adjustments along the length of the ultrasound beam to compensate for the effect of attenuation
