Fundamental Principles
of Ultrasound Imaging
G.A. Santoro
In examinations using external energy sources such as X-rays, ultrasound, and injected radioac­tive substances, the information contained in the images is produced by the interaction between the energy and the organ under examination. This interaction can be visualized in two different ways: an image may be formed by the energy which manages to pass through the organ or its parts, or the energy reflected or scattered from portions of the structure under examination may be transferred into images. The two techniques
are respectively termed visualization by transmis­sion and visualization by reflection. In the visual­ization by transmission technique, the energy is propagated through the object, i.e., the biological tissues; the energy which is not absorbed, scat­tered, or reflected by the tissues is visualized. Traditional radiology makes use of this technique. The visualization by reflection method uses the energy which has been scattered back from or reflected by the tissues. Diagnostic ultrasound
currently uses the technique of formation of
images by reflection.
Nature of Ultrasound
The term ultrasound describes the general form of mechanical energy emitted at a frequency above the limit of human audibility. The maxi­mum frequency audible to humans is in the range of 16–20,000 cycles per second, called Hertz (Hz), whereas in diagnostic applications frequencies in the 2.5–20 MHz (megahertz = million cycles per second) range are used, corresponding to wave­lengths of 1–0.1 mm in tissue.
Ultrasonic Transducer
The ultrasonic energy required to form an image must be supplied from an external source which can be continuous or impulsive. The formation of images by reflection makes use of impulsive ultra­sound energy. The basic transducer, also called probe, which transmits and receives the ultrason­ic impulses is made up of a piezoelectric disk (which is a ceramic crystal, usually lead zirconate titanate) that after the application of an electrical current, vibrates and transmits these vibrations
into the object in contact with it. The ultrasound frequency depends on the thickness of the crystal. The piezoelectric effect is symmetrical,so that the same crystal can be used as a receiver to produce small electrical signals when struck by an ultra­sound wave.
Propagation in Tissue
Elastic waves at ultrasonic frequency are generat­ed by a perturbation which causes the particles of a given medium to vibrate. The vibration of the particles of the medium is a basic characteristic of the propagation of elastic waves. It is therefore impossible for such waves to advance in a vacu­um. Different modes of propagation are possible, and in diagnostic applications, longitudinal waves are used. The term means that the motion of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The molecules move back and forth around their intermediate position pro-
ducing bands of compression and rarefaction so that the energy is transmitted through the medi-

Fig. I.1. Elastic waves are generated by a
perturbation which causes the particles of a medium to vibrate. The vibrations of the particles are in the direction of prop­agation of the wave
um as a perturbation without transfer of matter (Fig. I.1). Each repetition of this back-and-forth motion is called a cycle. The length of the wave (l) is the distance between two bands of compression or rarefaction. The velocity at which the energy is transmitted through the medium,which coincides with the velocity of propagation v,depends on the strength of the elastic forces between particles (which relates to the elasticity of the tissue) and to the masses of the particles (which determines density of the medium). These two factors deter­mine the acoustic impedance of the tissue. When
the particles are heavy,a given ultrasound energy is transmitted with small movements of the parti­cles; when they are light, larger excursions are involved. The velocity of propagation can be roughly considered constant in the frequency interval used in diagnostic applications. The wavelength l and the frequency f are linked to the velocity of propagation v by the equation: v=f ¥l.
As a sound beam passes through the body, the beam is attenuated or reduced in intensity by a combination of absorption, reflection, refraction, and diffusion. The intensity at each point of a wave is defined as the energy flow per unit of time through the unit area perpendicular to the direc-
tion of propagation at the point considered. The amplitude of the ultrasound beam is expressed in decibels (dB). For average soft tissues, the loss amounts to approximately 1 dB per centimeter tis­sue depth for each megahertz. The acoustic absorption is mainly due to the transformation of the ultrasonic energy into thermal energy. Three factors determine the amount of absorption: (1) the frequency of the sound; (2) the viscosity of the conducting medium, mainly linked to the protein content; and (3) the relaxation time of the medi-
um. The relaxation time is the time it takes for a molecule to return to its original position after it has been displaced.Absorption is very low in fluid media, intermediate in soft tissue, and very high in bone and gas at the frequencies used in diag­nostics (Table I.1).
Ultrasound energy is also lost to the receiving transducer if it is reflected or refracted away from the returning line of sight or if the beam diverges. When an ultrasonic wave propagating in an acoustically uniform medium reaches an interface with a medium of differing characteristic mechanical impedance (Table I.2), reflection and
refraction of the wave occurs. Image formation depends entirely on the returning echoes. The amount of reflection depends on the difference in the acoustic impedance of the two surfaces and on the angle of incidence of the beam. Acoustic impedance is the product of the density and velocity of sound in the conducting medium. Within soft tissues, only a few percent is reflected at each interface, but almost total reflection occurs at tissue/gas interfaces. For incidence of a wave over a theoretically plane surface, the reflec-

tion obeys Snell’s law for light, and waves are reflected at an angle equal to the angle of inci­dence (specular reflection).When the incidence of the ultrasound wave between two media is per­pendicular to the surface (normal incidence) (Fig. I.2a),the reflection is optimal.When the inci­dence is oblique, the reception of the reflected ultrasound by the transducer depends on the angle of incidence (Fig. I.2b). Using a rotating endoprobe within mainly circular structures such as sphincters, most specular reflections will be at right angles and so maximal (Fig. I.3). Strength and directionality are the cardinal features of
echoes from flat surfaces.Where the irregularities in the surface are of the same order of size as the ultrasound wavelength, a different mechanism – known as scattering – produces echoes. Here, each small interface is vibrated by the mechanical shock it has received from the incident ultrasound pulse. The vibratory energy is reradiated equally in all directions, each discontinuity behaving as an isolated point source of ultrasound (Fig. I.4). It is important to note that the texture in the image is an interference pattern and is not a one-to-one

representation of the histological reality. Scattering within biological tissues reduces the propagating energy so that it contributes to atten­uation together with reflection and absorption. Whatever the properties of biological tissues (the amount of collagen fibers is the dominant element in determining the value of characteristic

impedance) contribute to the formation of dis­continuity of characteristic impedance and their variations, the physics of scattering or reflection of widespread structures is not yet possible to establish. Fat, gas, and bone have very different densities, but various soft tissues have very simi­lar densities, and changes in impedance are due to alteration in the elasticity of the tissues. When the mechanical vibration encounters an obstacle (the interfaces between one tissue and another, discon­tinuity in the biological tissue, cavities full of
fluid, air bubbles, or foreign bodies) as the wave front advances,part of the energy is reflected and the rest continues or is refracted, with an angle of refraction different from the angle of incidence (Fig. I.5).
The echoes from deep structures are much weaker than those from closer structures due to greater signal attenuation. Accurate adjustment of amplification is important in order to enable ade­quate screen display. This is achieved by applying progressively increasing amplification (gain) to later echoes in proportion to their depth using a time-varying amplifier that is triggered when each ultrasound pulse is sent.This is the time gain compensation (TGC), an important user control that must be set to equalize the image brightness for superficial and deep structures (Fig. I.6). Adjustments influence both axial and lateral reso­lution (Fig. I.7).Axial resolution is the capacity to
resolve two-point reflectors in the direction of the axis of the ultrasound beam. Lateral resolution signifies the capacity for resolving two-point

reflectors at an equal distance from the transduc­er but situated in two different directions from it. As the gain increases, the rendering of details in the images deteriorates, and different images are obtained for the same objects, at the same dis­tance, with the same transducer and hence with the same potential lateral resolution (Fig. I.8).

Scanning Methods
The same transducer used to emit the ultrasonic impulse responds to mechanical vibrations by generating a corresponding electrical signal. In the conventional pulse-echo ultrasound process, signals are recorded at a depth calculated from the time delay between transmission and receipt of the echoes using the value of the speed and sound in tissue to convert from time to depth. The signal
is transmitted to a series of electronic circuits and frequently presented as a luminous signal on the
screen of an oscilloscope (Fig. I.9). By making a correlation between the luminous point on the screen and the distance traveled by the ultrasonic waves advancing within the tissues, an image is formed of the organization of the layers encoun­tered by the ultrasound beam in the direction in which the transducer is pointing. The images used in clinical echography may appear as images of the amplitude of the echo signals in relation to the
