Velocity of an Object01:18

Velocity of an Object

208
Understanding how an object moves along a path requires distinguishing between motion over a time span and motion at a precise moment. A useful example is a vehicle traveling along a straight and level path, where its position at any given time is known. The initial step in analyzing this motion is to measure how far the vehicle travels over a fixed time period. This measurement, called average velocity, is computed by dividing the total change in position by the duration over which the change...

Potential Due to a Polarized Object01:29

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

805
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Potential Due to a Magnetized Object

823
Magnetic dipoles in magnetic materials are aligned when placed under an external magnetic field. For paramagnets and ferromagnets, dipole alignment occurs in the direction of the magnetic field. However, the dipoles align opposite to the field in the case of diamagnets. This state of magnetic polarization due to the external field is called magnetization. Magnetization is defined as the dipole moment per unit volume. It plays a similar role to polarization in electrostatics.

Moment of Inertia of Compound Objects01:07

Moment of Inertia of Compound Objects

7.6K
The moment of inertia is a quantitative measure of the rotational inertia of an object. It is defined as the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the mass of each particle of matter in a given body by the square of its distance from the axis. The total moment of inertia for compound objects can be found by determining and adding the moment of inertia of individual components together.
Consider a child of mass (mc) 25 kg standing at a distance (rc) of 1 m from the axis of a rotating...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Acoustics
  • Wave Optics

Background:

  • Ultrasound imaging is limited by obstacles such as bone and air, which impede beam propagation.
  • Structures distal to these impenetrable obstacles are difficult or impossible to visualize with conventional ultrasound.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a method for ultrasound imaging of structures located beyond obstacles.
  • To enhance the ability of ultrasound to visualize targets obscured by bone, air, or other impediments.

Main Methods:

  • An optically-inspired holographic algorithm was employed to shape the ultrasound beam.
  • The beam was steered to bypass the obstacle and focus beyond it.
  • The method was tested using wire targets, tissue-mimicking phantoms, and an ex vivo biological sample.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in focal intensity (up to 30-fold) and peak-to-side-lobe ratio (up to 3-fold) were achieved for specific obstacle types and positions.
  • Performance was dependent on transducer aperture, obstacle dimensions, and target location.
  • The method demonstrated effectiveness in real-time implementation on conventional ultrasound systems.

Conclusions:

  • The holographic beam-shaping technique enables ultrasound imaging beyond impenetrable obstacles.
  • This advancement has potential applications in cancer detection, abdominal imaging, and vertebral structure visualization.
  • The method offers a practical solution for overcoming common limitations in diagnostic ultrasound.
