Controls the electrical pulses that the transducer sends into the body.

Used to visualize blood flow velocity over time in a graphical representation.

Used to send and receive the ultrasound waves.

Displays the ultrasound information as dots of varying brightness, forming a 2D image.

The change in frequency or wavelength of the ultrasound waves as they reflect off moving objects, like blood.

Medium that helps in the transmission of ultrasound waves from the transducer to the body.

Displays movement of structures over time, often used to measure cardiac structures.

Displays the real-time images generated by the ultrasound machine.

Contains knobs, switches, and controls to adjust the ultrasound machine's settings.

Adjusts the brightness of the image at different depths to compensate for attenuation.

The ratio between the largest and smallest signal strengths that the ultrasound machine can handle.

A property of tissue that affects how much ultrasound beam is reflected at boundaries.

Reduction in the intensity of the ultrasound beam as it travels through tissue.

The ability of the ultrasound machine to generate immediate images during scanning.

The ability of a tissue to produce echoes and reflect the ultrasound waves back to the transducer.

The number of oscillations per second of the ultrasound wave, affecting image resolution and penetration.

Uses the non-linear propagation of ultrasound through tissue to enhance image quality.

Misrepresentation of Doppler velocities that occurs when the measured velocity exceeds the Nyquist limit of the pulse-wave Doppler.

Adjusts the amplification of the reflected ultrasound signals.

Dependency of the echo intensity on the angle of the ultrasound beam in relation to the structure being imaged.

Describes structures that produce a similar amount of echoes to the surrounding tissue, thus appearing similar in echogenicity.

The range of brightness in the B-mode image representing the different intensities of echoes received.

Refers to structures that produce more echoes and appear brighter than surrounding tissues.

Uses pulses of ultrasound to measure the velocity of moving structures, such as blood, at a specific location.

Refers to a structure that does not produce echoes and appears black on the ultrasound image.

Refers to structures that produce fewer echoes and appear darker than surrounding tissues.
