Question 1
Which statement best expresses the relationship between frame rate and time per frame?
Correct Answer:
They are inversely proportional
Explanation:
Frame rate and time per frame are reciprocal quantities. Frame rate is how many frames are produced each second, while time per frame is how long one frame lasts in seconds (or milliseconds). Because one frame every second is the inverse of how long each frame lasts, they are inversely proportional: fps = 1 / t_frame. For example, at 60 frames per second, each frame lasts about 1/60 second (≈16.7 ms). If you increase to 120 frames per second, each frame lasts about 1/120 second (≈8.3 ms). Doubling the frame rate halves the time per frame. They are not directly proportional (increasing one does not move the other in the same direction), they are not independent (changing the frame rate changes the time per frame), and they are not equal (fps has units of 1/second while time per frame has units of seconds per frame, so they’re not the same quantity).
Question 2
Which expression represents the frame rate formula?
Correct Answer:
Tframe × Frame Rate = 1
Explanation:
Frame rate and time per frame are reciprocal concepts: how many frames appear each second versus how long one frame lasts. Because they are inverses, their product equals 1 (the units cancel). That means the correct expression is Tframe × Frame Rate = 1. For example, at 60 frames per second, each frame lasts 1/60 of a second, and 60 × (1/60) = 1. The other forms distort this relationship: dividing Tframe by Frame Rate would not yield 1, and saying Frame Rate equals Time per frame treats them as equal rather than inverses.
Question 3
What is the key difference between fundamental and harmonic imaging regarding tissue interaction?
Correct Answer:
Fundamental uses transmitted frequency; harmonic imaging uses nonlinear tissue response to generate harmonics, improving contrast and resolution
Explanation:
Fundamental imaging relies on the tissue responding in a linear way to the transmitted ultrasound, so the echoes come back at the same frequency that was sent. Harmonic imaging, by contrast, uses the tissue’s nonlinear response to the ultrasound to generate new frequencies (multiples of the transmitted frequency, with the second harmonic being the most used). The image is formed from these harmonic components, which tends to improve contrast and resolution and reduce certain artifacts. This is why the correct description is that fundamental uses the transmitted frequency, while harmonic imaging relies on nonlinear tissue generation of harmonics to provide the image.
Question 4
If frame rate increases, what happens to the time needed to make a frame?
Correct Answer:
Time per frame decreases
Explanation:
Frame rate and the time to build a frame are inversely related. Frame rate is how many frames are produced every second, so the time allocated to each frame is 1 divided by the frame rate. If you push the frame rate higher, that per-frame time must get shorter to fit more frames into the same second. So the time per frame decreases. This higher pace can force quicker data acquisition and processing or require trade-offs like reduced depth or fewer lines. The idea that the time per frame would increase or go negative doesn’t fit the relationship between frame rate and frame time.
Question 5
Higher line density has what effect on spatial information?
Correct Answer:
Increases spatial information
Explanation:
Higher line density means more scan lines across a given area, so the tissue is sampled more finely. Each line carries depth echoes, and with more lines in the same region there are more samples of the structures, allowing smaller details and closer boundaries to be distinguished. That richer sampling translates directly into greater spatial information. Depth penetration depends mainly on frequency and attenuation, not line density, so increasing line density improves detail rather than inherent imaging depth. (Note: higher line density can reduce frame rate, a trade-off to keep in mind.)
