Abstract

(I think this would be gangsta if you did it huda…I can’t summarize sum-m sum-m I didn’t write…also I had trouble wit tha referizzles since its all frizzay tha lab manual…tell me whizzay you think, tha last one I didn’t look at)






Introduction
Ultrasonography uses mechanizzles vibrations in materials at frequencies pimp tizzle sound waves detectable by tha human ear, between tha frequencies of 1.5 MHz ta 20 MHz, ta image internal structures of tha human bizzle n' shit. These hizzay frequency waves travel into tha body n is partially reflected at each tissue interface, n thus tha dizzepth of each change in biolizzles composizzle can be calculated based on tha return tizzy of tha sound wave cuz its a pimp thang. The ultrasound is extremely popular n useful chillin' technique in tizzy it does not use radiation ta create its image, n thus does not riznisk mutat'n any of tha patient’s DNA . Bounce wit me. The speed of sound in tissue (1540 m/s) is assumed constant throughout tha body n thus absolute D-to-tha-izzepth of tha reflection point can be determined n shit. In reality tha acoustic impedance of a material, tha ratio of sound pressure ta particle velocizzles (Equation 1.), varies depend'n on tissue type as tha human bizzle is not perfectly uniform. The implication of this assumption is tha bizzy becomes mildly de-focused n decreazes image resolizzles [2].
In pulse-echo mode, tha hizzigh frequency vibrations is emitted n received by tha transduca, which is composed of a piezizzles baller mounted on a weed-smokin' comprised of two wanna be gangsta fo' rizeal. The first motherfucka laya provides mechanizzles support fo` tha array while tha second more flexible bitch ensures effective sound absorption of backward waves. A Mode is one tizzy of pulse-echo imag'n, tha oldest n simplest mode; it outputs tha amplitudes of tha pressure waves generated by tha transduca wit regard ta position mah nizzle. In B Mode imag'n, tha bizzle is shifted pusha each transmit n tha received data is transformed into a two dimensizzles image by assign'n tha time of tha echo’s return ta an increasingly dizzark shade on a 256 level gray scale. Also, ultrasonic frequencies can be utilized ta image a fluid stream n determine how tha velocity varies wit position so sit back relax new jacks get smacked. This requires M Mizzy imag'n, in which tha beam is held in a fixed position over tha tissue, n tha single lines generated is arranged ta show changes in echo data over time n allows imag'n of vizzle quick motions such as heart valve movement like a tru playa'. The ultrasonic brotha can detect tha particle motion witin a solid mass by evaluat'n tha change in frequency between tha original bizzy n tha returned echo [3].

Figure 1. Ultrasound Velocity Measizzle.
Using tha Doppla Effect, tha particle’s velocity wizzy eitha add or subtract ta tha speed of tha ultrasonic wizzy saggin' on shot calla tha particle is travel'n towards or away frizzay tha transduca ta help you tap dat ass. Thus tha change in frequency can be translated into difference in velocity through ya feelin' me?: (Equation 2.). Where fd is tha doppla frequency, c is tha speed of sound in tissue, ft is tha transmitted beam frequency, V is tha velocity of tha blood, Ө is tha angle of incidence between tha ultrasound bizzle n tha direction of tha fizzy . Holla!. The beam angle should not be 90 degrees as there will be no Brotha shift, tha signal strength increazes as tha bizzle becomes mizzle aligned ta flow direction [1].
Process'n software can be constructed in MATLAB ta transform tha digital dizzy into a visually meaningful image tizzy physicians utilize as diagnostic aides so sit back relax new jacks get smacked. Doggy Stylin' tha Hilbert transform ta tha raw dizzle displays individual scizzan lines that compose tha image n allows computizzles of tha mizzle of a scizzay line . Boom bam as I step in the jam, God damn. The process'n software created in MATLAB can be interfaced wit LabVIEW ta output tha image [1] , niggaz, better recognize.

Methods
The fiznirst lab centered on learn'n how ta correctly use tha ultrasound system. Since tha hustla is very fragile n tha most expensive pizzart of tha ultrasound system, care was taken at all times ta prevent break'n it. To help prevent thizzay tha playa cord was wrapped around tha arm hold'n tha transduca several times. This ensured that tha transduca would not strike any hard surface should it fizzall n' shit. Once tha motherfucka had bizzy protected in this gangsta a thin laya of cruisin' gel was applied ta tha transmission surface. The wata-based gel allows fo` weed-smokin' of tha ultrasound between tha subject n tha probe n' shit. The ultrasound system was turned on via tha powa switch on tha bizzy of tha system handle . Relax, cus I'm bout to take my respect. The display was then adjusted ta provide tha optimal view'n angle n image quality. The kniznown object phantom was then scanned wit tha hustla probe. The probe was directed ta obtain an image of tha object phantom on tha display screen dogg. A cleara image of tha object was obtained by saggin' tha near, far n overall gain controls . You'se a flea and I'm the big dogg. Once a clear image was obtained, an estimate of tha object size was made using tha scales on tha image display. The edges of tha object wizzy spotted n noted. The phantom characta were displayed on tha screen by adjust'n tha killa angle . Boo-Yaa!. Once tha embedded wanna be gangsta were visible on tha screen, tha image was frozen by press'n tha “Freeze” key. Prior ta freez'n, tha image was zoomed using tha “Zoom” key. The “Zoom” key magnifies images by a factor of two. Once a satisfactory zoom was obtained, tha image was frozen as described crazy ass nigga . Real niggas recognize the realness.. T-H-to-tha-izzen a method fo` frontin' unknown objects was formulated. Next an unknown object phantom was obtained . Ya fuck with us, we gots to fuck you up. The unknown phantom was scanned using a similar procedure as tha known object . It's your homie snoop dogg from the dpg. 3 separate sides were scanned ta ensure that tha phantom was completely scanned n T-H-to-tha-izzat any hidden objects were found. Since tha initial sciznan was only ta find hidden objects, large bustin' increments wizzy used and cant no hood fuck with death rizzow. Once tha hidden object was found, it was rescanned wit gangsta increments ta fizzle a betta image. The object was recreated using hand steppin' n approximate dimensions were noted on tha recreation. The dimensions of tha object were then estimated. Distance measizzles wizzy T-H-to-tha-izzen taken using tha “Measure” key . Bounce wit me. The trackball was used ta position tha fiznirst wanna be gangsta n tha “Select” key was used ta activate tha second cracka. Once tha second calipa was positizzles tha distance was displayed on tha screen thats off tha hook yo. The area n circumference of tha object was measured using tha “Ellipse measizzles function. Again tha trackball was used ta adjust tha size of tha ellipse n shit. A simulizzles of tumor location n biopsy procedure was performed using tha procedure outlined above . Death row 187 4 life. A metal rod was guided ta towards tha object, using tha fact tizzle metal reflects ultrasound n displays brightly on tha image. The phantom was pierced wit tha metal rod n rotated a shawty bit ta betta grab a sample of tha phantom mah nizzle. The rod was carefully witdrawn n tha segment was witdrawn n placed on tha Petri dizzy n examined n shit. In wizzy three, tha lab memba used tha ultrasound drug deala ta takes Doppla measizzles n find tha flizzay velocity of a liquid flow'n through a phantom . I thought i told ya, nigga I'm a soldier. First, tha peristizzle pizzle was connected ta tha “in n out” sections of tha given phantom. The speed of tha pump was set ta at least sizzay n tizzle a killa wit 800 mL of brotha wit 4 grams of amberlite was prepared . I'm a mutha fuckin 2-time felon.. The beaka was placed on a stirra n stirred ta makes sure tha amberlite whizzay is used as a hustla in tha baller did not settle. The rappa was placed over tha surface of tha phantom parallel ta tha flow fo my bling bling. The normal 2D mode was used ta see an image on tha screen . Ill slap tha taste out yo mouf. Once tha plane of tha flizzow was located, tha ultrasound scanna was switched ta color fizzy Doppla (CPD) mode by press'n button “8” on tha nigga. The trackball n select button was tizzle used ta focus in on a good spot in tha middle of tha tube. This Nigga measizzles was used ta calculate tha flizzay velocity of tha gangsta dogg. On tha frozen Playa spectral trace tha “Measure” key was pressed at tha peak of one of tha waves keep'n it real yo. The brotha then displayed tha velocity measizzles in tha top left hand corna of tha screen. Measizzles were taken fo` Pipe 1 F-to-tha-izzirst at speeds 8 n 10 in bizzy tha forward n reverse directions n shit. The same four measizzles were then taken fo` Pipe 2. These measizzles wizzy recorded in tha Data section of this report in Table 1. In week fizzle of tha lab, MATLAB was used ta display a given ultrasonic image, identify thizzay image, Hilbert transform it ta display individual scan lines, n find tha mean of scizzay line cuz I put gangsta rap on tha map. First, a new directory was created ta store all tha provided files. The file “fillinblanks.m” was opened n tha path in tha main command window of MATLAB was changed ta correspond wit tha location of all tha stored files keep'n it real yo. The “load” n “imagesc” commands wizzy used ta load tha “rf.mat” fizzy n tizzle display tha data like old skool shit. Look at tha workspace, whizzat is tha size of tha input image? Whiznich dimension wizzle be tha transduca surface? And whizzich is tha tizzy dimension? I dizzon't know.... Color map was used ta change tha color image ta gray scale n thizzay a title, x-axis label, n y-axis label were added fo' sheezy. Next, tha 128th n 35th rf data lines of tha input dizzle were plotted by using tha “plot” n “hold on” commands. Each of tha plots underwent a Hilbert transform using tha command “b= Hilbert(a)” n shit. The “abs” command isolated tha absolute value of tha data frizzom tha Hilbert transform. The 60th rf data n tha 60th column in tha Hilbert transformed data wizzy opened in a new figure. The “imagesc” command was used again ta display tha Hilbert transformed data. The image was color mapped ta gray scale
n tha .m file n rf data wizzy saved.

10:05pm: weird bruise


So I got this bruise that started out all normal looking being purple/bluish all over last thursday. Then it faded to the light blue looking part all over. And today randomly there are two purple lines that show up although it doesn't hurt or anything. So my knee is probably trying to talk to me in cryptic code but I really have no idea what its saying.

3:12pm: summer
I have a paper to write, so I am strangely compelled to post a journal entry. I think I officially did the splits yesterday and it was not too pleasant. I am not too successful in landing a jump so far, but I am pretty pysched that my skis are hitting the water first and not my head. I get so excited when I'm going over the ramp and in the air I'm all "I totally got this" then the water totally dominates me. Skiing is pretty fun but I am not a super fast learner, except there are no girls so they tolerate my defiencies. I also have a new minion to add to my collection so that is pretty interesting.

nateyboggy signed off at 11:47:26 PM.

i definately did not know this guy and it scared me at first because i have forgotten people ive met.

11:26am: road rash
got my first road rash yesterday, which is the offical biking term for how the road scrapes your skin off when you crash. During warmup I was slowing down at the end of a hill to turn around and a girl on my team was plowing down it. Maybe she had too much adrenaline or just a freak mistake, i may have been doing something unexpected and she didnt notice, but instead of going around she ran into me. i skidded off the shoulder into the grass but i think she had all of the force of the crash in knee to road contact. i got minor scrapes and a gash in my hip, but her knee was really tore up with skin hanging off. i tried to still race but was entirely worthless prob partly cause i got a knee and ankle bruised up i didn't realize at first. it was strange because nothing hurt at first and the crash didn't freak me out since i didn't see it coming. so im like this isn't too bad, but now i feel gimp. also every other sport ive been in people would have freaked out if ppl start bleeding everywhere, but its so common and this is tame compared to most crashes.

4:44pm: bicycle
we got this way fast road bike my neighbor was throwing away cause it had a broken tire and im about to get addicted. plus my mom sent off for some organic gardening magazine to use up our sky miles and they gave us a cycling magazine instead that i have read cover to cover. too bad i don't have $1000 to buy a cool road bike that is not twice my size. but apparently im supposed to become a cyclist.

4:14pm: the white one is lucy and the grey one is pebbles

3:07pm: clubs
i want to join six clubs: water ski, ping pong, gymnastics, water polo, triathlon and women in medicine just cause it would be nice on resumes. im having issues narrowing it down. water ski actually has tryouts so maybe they will just reject me and save me the trouble of deciding. i am the lowest skill level they consider if i can even handle their fancy slaloms. but a private lake, new boat every year, team skis, training and practice whenever you want too for 225 sounds like a great deal to me. and then i would have to do gymnastics so i could learn to do flips on land then do them on skis. and then triathlon and water polo club would make me stronger. ping pong doesn't really fit in but its cheap and doesn't require much commitment. also we have 2 sister kittens as roommates since 10ish days ago who can both jump like 2 feet in the air and do back flips.

6:41pm: schoool
I love living off campus. It actually feels like a home instead of a prison cell. Also I am going to work this semester even if the class is easy and go to class everyday, except for discussions. And I'm quitting AIM (or staying away all the time) and my cell phone broke so I'm going to be isolated from the world, unless you leave a very intriguing message. I lucked out last semester, although I'm tempted to try my luck on borderlineness again I'm gonna do the responsible thing and practice for med school effort.

4:27pm: \m/
it is 91.1 degrees in my room cause i think our ac is broken. also i really wish i had practiced piano while I was taking lessons, now i dont even have time if i wanted to start trying to learn again. im trying to relearn the songs i used to know, which isn't that hard, but i doubt ill be able to progress to anything harder before summer ends. hopefully something new though. and i bought a duvet set and sheet set at smartbargains.com which were like 400tc and 350tc that im excited about getting. they tell me i saved $290.01 over retail price, which i dont entirely believe but its nice to imagine.

8:06pm: skype
everyone who has a laptop (i think most have microphones) or a desktop and a microphone should download skype. you can talk to people anywhere in the world anytime for free. add me im swimonica of course.

skype

9:30am: Indiana
Went to Drummond Island with the clan of cousins, eleven younger and one a year older than me. The Great Lakes are clear and just the right temperature this time of year and michigan is so much cooler than houston. Im pushing the parents to let me stay in indiana another week because cousins are so much nicer than brothers and i only get to see them once a year at most.

And yesterday i ran the longest distance i have ever run in my life due to a lack of direction sense in my family. went out running at 8 with my brother planning to do about 20 minutes out and 20 minutes back. all the roads are hilly with lots of corn so on the way back turned a little before my cousins street and ended up running 70 minutes total before we made it home. got pretty dark outside and freaked the relatives out who started searching for us after we had been gone 30 minutes and found us just as we reached the driveway. my gimp knee actually made it running pretty much the whole way, which was probably around 7 or 8 miles according to my brother who thinks we were running 9 or 10 minute miles. probably would have never lasted that distance without adrenaline from running by dark forests and corn fields with only normal wildlife like coyotes to worry about, but overall quite fun except for worrying the family.

6:45pm: MOC
Weeell i got two 2nds in meet of champs (medly and BR), seeded 3rd in both in prelims. I'm satisfied with that, swam okay. No one new beat me, same nottingham girl that beat me in the duel plus she wore a fast skin and I was like a second behind before so wasn't too much hope there. Medly relay had a couple people slip off the wall and we still beat nottingham, which was the goal, so that was nice. No more summer league ever for me though, i don't really like when things end. At least theres still intermurral at college and water polo, i dont know what i will do when i graduate. I dont think i want to get much older, but at least i will continue to look about 2 or 3 years younger. I have to go water some plants and pick veggies from the garden that i was supposed to do yesterday since i am sans family. Even though my brother did get back today you can't really tell since he locks himself in his room and plays computer alllllllll day. Its quiet at least and the bird doesn't squawk when people aren't yelling and screaming all day.

9:24pm: we have as many boats as cars now
new used boat:



Its about as old as the Z was and the same color so its gonna be named "Z-boat". And now that we have a jetski, canoe and ski-boat my dad wants a sail boat.

1:16pm: summer
got back from a super fun week in austin yesterday. i learned a lot about grocery shopping like that me and lauren are the slowest grocery shoppers ever and have no clue what is a good deal when we look though the brochure of specials. it took us 30 minutes to buy a salad cause we had after trying to find the best deal of bag lettuce i convinced her to go with the head. and ya then i was really happy cause i picked out chicken and cooked it. for some reason cooking meat always sounds so hard to me.

summer school started today and i think its actually gonna require effort. my govt teacher is all inspired to change the world through his teaching and stuff but the good teachers are always kinda harder too. he needs to go to some real university not try to teach people who avoid the real university teachers. and we are also supposed to taaaaalk which i am really bad at doing. and whoa major flashback theres so many taylor people and cinco people i vaguely recognize from like junior high. it feels so much like highschool. gag.

and also im gonna try to get a waitress job tonight. partly cause my parents think waitor people are bad for some reason and it seems really hard so maybe it wont be boring. man im gonna get so confused and drop food everywhere but it just seems so interesting at the same time. i have never had a job im excited. oh and my mom is scared that customers will be mean to me and treat me like a servant and then maybe i would feel sad. parents are crazy.

and then im traing everyday at taylor to win moc and thats about it for my summer. well some vacation thing in july too.

12:32pm: i have another final in 88 min
( here is a quiz about alcohol even though i don't drink and didn't even read the questions cause it was way too long )

I really hope i don't pull every single A down. Man 5 finals is not fun when all your grades are borderline and you don't know how to study.

5:04pm: quiz results

11:30pm: i would be smarter if i weren't tired i think
( i guess this is why ima engineer )

9:41pm: Swimmin
I so gotta win the meet of champs so I'm gonna train only breast stroke every day til june 25. That and I think I'm addicted to swimming cause I had a bad headache (migraine? i dunno) all this week until I swam yesterday. I also start to feel my muscle mass decreasing within two days of no swimming. The other engineering girl in water polo is addicted to swimming too, I think it's the only stress relief we get.

2:08pm: Schoool!
I'm so excited, my calculus teacher just announced extra credit for a whole LETTER grade! I was lucky enough to pick the hardest teacher with the worst ratings(1 star on pickaprof I just found out), and stupid enough to not pay attention and get zeros for attendance and I still have a chance for my A now. That so made my week, maybe month. I seriously can't wait to start on it but I have to study for chemistry now.

Also my schedule next year kind of sucks, 16 hours of classes, with at least 13 of those being pretty intense workload. I was thinking I could take 13 plus swimming and hold off for a better ee teacher but after talking to nitin whose taken all the classes I'm about to take last fall I feel like a slacker. I need to learn how to work hard anyways, no being lazy in med school.

3:29pm: sat
well i really don't like saturdays, i get headaches every single week. apparently i got something from my dad that makes my head start hurting if i don't sleep exactly the same amount the same time every night. and since i slept from 10pm-10am last night i can't think today. hopefully ill be able to stay awake in church today though. last time too much sun and too little food was making me way sleepy. and for some reason, only half my face falls asleep so its just one eye that i can't keep open. which is really great when you're sitting in the first row 10 feet away from the pastor. he prob thinks i am such a freak now, listening to the whole sermon with one eye open. i just wish i could get my schedule right and stop procrastinating so i can be smarter again. and one day im gonna get good at chess. maybe when i start making good grades again.

2:18am: sickness
well all day i all thought i had some strange new disease cause my throat was swelling closed and it was all weird to swallow, but i realized tonight its just plain old swollen lymphnodes from probably the flu. i need more practice at diagnosing stuff, i cant believe that confused me. also i broke my streak of making all A's on tests today by failing two. which i can drop so it doesn't really matter, but still i just used up all my cushion in one day. and i hope that i get better quick (never gonna happen cause i can never heal myself) so i can play water polo in the tournament this weekend. which actually ya i should probably just give up that thought. ya so today was kinda crappy. but im pretty happy right now, probably because its too late and im getting insane.

8:55pm: fundraising
you know those people standing on the corners trying to give you some pamphlet or sign something or sign up for something, that was totally me today. this wp girl had this great idea to do a citibank fundraiser for water polo and we would make like $1500 BUT money is never free. so they had this impossible limit of 14 people signing up for two credit cards for each of the 9 ppl working, so we only made about $300 for the $6.50 we got per person minus some stuff that the guys made, which is practically worthless considering it took 7 people 4 hours including the hour of orientation. anyways it was kinda interesting because i didnt think i would be confortable talking to random people but it wasn't bad at all. i got 8 people to sign up in like 2.5 hours of campaigning, ironically they were all guys, also i knew like 4 of them. i mostly just talked to guys because girls would be like "no" and not even listen to my convincing strategy. but anyways i talked to a ton of people, i almost felt outgoing of something and also i felt very annoying. i would have been annoyed by myself too, but lots of people just laughed the second you mention "credit card", or turned and ran, which seriously happened with two ppl. blah that doesn't really make much sense but i need to study for two tests tomorrow. or really i just need to do math hw, studying goes at the end of the to-do list.

9:40pm: Town Lake
After 30 minutes of canoeing in the sun today I decide to hop in the water which is around a crisp 70F to cool off. This goose starts swimming towards me and being a bird person I just stand there thinking it wants me to throw it some food or something. So it gets about 2 feet away from me staring right at me and is still paddlin over so Lauren, safe on shore, suggests I talk to it. So Im all "hello how are you goose?" and it keeps coming until it's like 3 inches away me. By this time I'm backing up and I start grabbing its neck and pushing it away cause I don't know if geese bite hard or not. Then it starts honking and this flock of like 5 geese start coming my way. And now I'm starting to get worried cause these are freaking fearless geese that don't mind be grabbed by the neck and shoved. So I'm stubbling backwards over slimy rocks in my flip flops about 15 feet away from shore with a pack of crazy evil geese after me. Finally made it out of the water without being attacked and got out, but sorta forgot that geese can walk on land too. So they all follow me out but Lauren was prepared with her paddle and fought them off. I don't get what they had against me but they are going to get bumped below cats on my list of prefered animals.

Oh and went to a free Ryan Cabrera concert at UT tonight and they were doing some Paula Abdul impersonation which involved his drummer running around the stage dancing like a girl. So this UT sercurity guard comes busting through the audience and is all ready to pull the guy off stage thinking hes some crazy college kid until Ryan stops singing long enough to be like stop that guy is my drunnmer. That amused me and also Ryan Cabrera has a pretty good voice i think after hearing him live.
