Can Multiple Reflections Be Eliminated Using A-Mode Imaging in Ultrasound?

Click For Summary
Multiple reflections in ultrasound occur when sound waves reflect multiple times before being detected, and calculations must consider total travel times under 200 μs. The discussion revolves around determining whether the calculated travel times account for these multiple reflections correctly. Participants clarify that the focus should be on finding cases of multiple reflections that still fall within the specified time limit. There is also confusion regarding the calculation of echo arrival times, with guidance provided on how to correctly compute these values without unnecessary factors. Understanding the relationship between distance, speed, and time is crucial for accurate results in ultrasound imaging.

Here is my full answer.. do you agree with me? Thank you
I agree with these. However, there is another case that you have missed.

May I know what is it?

I don't want to give it away. It is not a very complicated path. Try playing around with various paths.

Yes, I just realized it will produced 38.4. is there any formula to recreate another anatomical configurations? Can you explain more about what should I have to do? Here, I tried another one, is it correct?

This will produce the echos at 34.5 μs and 69.0 μs. It will not produce the 73.2 μs echo unless the distance ##l_3 = 0.32## cm. But you already discovered that case.

What if you choose ##l_2## to be something other than 2.66 cm?
Can you choose it so that you get echos at 34.5 μs, 69.0 μs, and 73.2 μs and no other echos with arrival times less than about 75 μs?

Sure, I ll try to find other paths, thank you very much

I see, I got it, I will try another distance which match with the given echoes, thank you so much
