PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND
The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes.
Can be used for therapeutic purposes by using larger and continuous dosages – as in:
1) Generation of heat- treatment of low back pain, muscle strains, promote tissue regereration, kill malignant cells.
2) To pulverize kidney stones, gallstones.

PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND
Sound waves are generated by the TRANSDUCER- the gizmo holding a piezoelectric crystal that changes electrical current into sound waves and vice versa.
Sound waves are generated, reflected off of tissues and “echo” back, and are picked up by the transducer (piezoelectric crystal) and converted to electrical activity.
![Page 4: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND
The image that is generated is dependent upon the time it takes the sound waves to return to the transducer.
The return time is a reflection of the distance the tissue is from the transducer and the degree to which the sound waves are reflected by that tissue (organ vs. bone vs. fat vs. fluid).
![Page 5: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
HAZARDS OF DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND
In short, for diagnostic ultrasound, there are none.
Ultrasound for longer periods of time than are used in diagnostic ultrasound can generate sufficient heat as to be harmful.
And in higher frequencies (>100,000 Hz) can cause cavitation.
![Page 6: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
METHODS OF UULTRASOUND
1) PULSE-ECHO
2) DOPPLER
![Page 7: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PULSE-ECHO METHOD
2 TYPES:
1) A MODE - amplitude modulation – echoes are displayed in graphic form, such as in an echocardiogram.
2) B MODE - brightness modulation – echoes are displayed as different intensities of brightness, giving a 2-dimensional cross-sectional image (“picture”, if you will). Can be static or dynamic (“real-time”).
![Page 8: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DOPPLER METHOD
Sound waves bounced off of different objects have different frequencies.
With doppler ultrasound, these different frequencies are transformed into audible sounds, of different frequency.
The different frequencies can also be mapped to give a visual representation as well as an audible one.
![Page 9: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
DOPPLER METHOD
USES Flow through arteries and veins- to assess
patency of arterial grafts, obstruction to flow by thrombi, atherosclerosis, etc.- arterial flow can often be heard in cases where it can not be palpated.
Opening and closing of cardiac valves and flow through them- valvular stenosis, regurg.
![Page 10: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
DOPPLER METHOD
OBSTETRICAL USES Doppler stethoscope- to detect a fetal
heart beat episodically, or continuously as in labor.
Assessment of placental function / fetal growth – evaluates flow through the umbilical artery and vein, looks for differentials in flow
![Page 11: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DOPPLER METHOD
COLOR FLOW IMAGING A type of doppler study. Asseses whether blood flow is laminar (the
usual way) or turbulent (the abnormal way). Useful in: cardiac valvular regurgitation;
identification of a false lumen in aortic dissection; congenital heart defects such as patent ductus arteriosus, atrial and venticular septal defects, which would appear as turbulent flow.

DOPPLER METHOD
DUPLEX SCANNING Uses both real-time imaging and doppler
flow together. Useful in evaluating a variety of vascular
problems: aneurysms, atheroscerotic plaques.

CEREBRAL CIRCULATION
Measures blood flow in the cerebral circulation, particularly in the:
1) Middle, anterior, and posterior cerebral arteries.
2) Distal internal carotid.3) Basilar artery. Often combined with doppler duplex
ultrasound and arteriography.
![Page 15: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CAROTID ARTERY SCANS
Atherosclerosis is associated with thickening of the intima of the artery.
Risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke is proportional to the thickness of the intima, which is a reflection of the degree of atherosclerosis.
Useful for screening both symptomatic patients who may need surgical intervention and asymptomatic patients who may need prevntive measures.

TRANSRECTAL ULTRASOUND
Primarily for evaluation of the prostate- size, shape, etc., to evaluate for BPH, prostate cancer.
Used after evaluation by DRE (digital rectal exam) and PSA (prostate-specific antigen).
Used in needle-guided biopsies, implantation of radioactive seeds for treatment of malignancy of the prostate.
![Page 44: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
TRANSTHORACIC ECHOCARDIOGAPHY
USEFUL IN THE EVALUATION OF Valvular defects, chamber size. Structural abnormalities- patent ductus, atrial
and ventricular septal defects. Pleural effusion, cardiac tamponade. Color imaging can detect flow – laminar vs.
turbulent. Some changes in coronary flow. ECG sometimes done simultaneously.
![Page 45: DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY CHAPTER 23. PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASOUND The use of sound waves beyond the audible frequency ( > 20,000 Hz) for diagnostic purposes](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cee5503460f949bc752/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
TRANSESOPHAGEAL ULTRASOUND
Generates an image unimpeded by the lungs and chest-wall structures.
Especially good visualization of the left atrium and aortic root.
Examples: infective endocarditis, aortic dissection, cardiac origin of an arterial embolus such as atrial fib. much better than TTE.
RISKS: bleeding, aspiration, perforation, arrhythmias.

ECHOENCEPHALOGRAM
Ultrasound can not penetrate bone. Limited use in the adult. This modality is most useful for imaging
the newborn as the skull (sutures) have not completely fused.
Useful for evaluating: mostly, things that shift the midline, hydrocephalus, size of the cerebral ventricles, intracranial hemorrhage in the newborn.
