The Electromagnetic Spectrum02:37

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

65.4K
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of all the types of electromagnetic radiation arranged according to their frequency and wavelength. Each of the various colors of visible light has specific frequencies and wavelengths associated with them, and you can see that visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Because the technologies developed to work in various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are different, for reasons of convenience and historical...

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

33.8K
Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their wavelengths and frequencies, giving the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are classified as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, etc. Radio waves refer to electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from millimeters to kilometers. Radio waves are commonly used for audio communications (i.e., radios) and typically result from an alternating current in the wires of a broadcast antenna. They cover a broad wavelength range and are used...

IR Spectrum01:19

IR Spectrum

2.2K
When infrared (IR) radiation passes through a molecule, the bonds stretch or bend by absorbing the radiation. This absorption creates the molecule's absorption spectrum, which is the plot of its percentage transmittance versus wavenumber.
Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0%...

Mass Spectrum

4.8K
A mass spectrum is the graphical representation of the relative abundance of the charged fragments in an analyte plotted against their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). The plot's x-axis represents the ratio of the mass of the charged fragment to the number of charges it carries. The y axis of the plot represents the relative abundance of each charged species. The relative abundance is calculated from the signal intensity of each charged species recorded at the detector. The most intense signal (the...

Power

13.1K
The concept of work involves force and displacement; meanwhile, the work-energy theorem relates the net work done on a body to the difference in its kinetic energy, calculated between two points on its trajectory. While none of these quantities or relations involves time explicitly, we know that the time available to accomplish work is often just as important as the amount of work itself. For example, sprinters in a race may have achieved the same velocity at the finish, therefore,...

UV–Vis Spectrum01:30

UV–Vis Spectrum

2.1K
When light passes through a substance, a portion of the light is absorbed while the remaining light is reflected or transmitted. If the molecule absorbs light between the wavelengths of 180–400 nm range, the UV spectrum is obtained, and if it absorbs light in the 400–780 nm wavelength range, the visible spectrum is obtained.     
The UV–Vis spectrum of a molecule is the plot of its absorbance versus wavelength. The plot is drawn by taking molar...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Ultrasound
  • Acoustic Characterization

Background:

  • The reference phantom method is widely used for calculating acoustic attenuation and backscatter in ultrasound imaging.
  • Clinical adoption of these methods is hindered by the requirement for system-specific reference phantom data acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if reference phantom data acquired from multiple identical transducers and ultrasound systems yield equivalent power spectrum estimates.
  • To assess the sources of variance in power spectral density estimates, specifically comparing system/transducer variability to speckle variance.

Main Methods:

  • Acquired reference phantom data using 11 transducers and 5 clinical ultrasound systems of the same model.
  • Analyzed power spectral density estimates to quantify variance contributions from systems, transducers, and speckle.

Main Results:

  • Equivalent estimates of reference phantom power spectra were obtained from different transducers and ultrasound systems of the same model.
  • Speckle variance was found to be the dominant factor in power spectral density estimate variance when the number of uncorrelated data lines is small.
  • System and transducer contributions to variance were comparable to speckle variance with 59 uncorrelated echo signals.

Conclusions:

  • A single set of reference phantom calibration data is highly representative for a specific model of transducers and ultrasound systems.
  • This finding simplifies the clinical application of acoustic parameter estimation by reducing the need for individual system calibration.
