Sample Question Preview

When the frequency of a transducer increases, what happens to the axial resolution?

  • A) It decreases (gets worse)
  • B) It improves (gets better)
  • C) It remains unchanged
  • D) It depends on the medium
Correct Answer: B
Higher frequency transducers produce shorter pulse lengths, which improves axial resolution. Axial resolution = spatial pulse length / 2. Shorter pulses = better ability to distinguish two structures along the beam path.
