Antworten
-
When the US energy is converted into heat
-

Frage 5
Frage
What factors can cause the amplitude to be reduced during an ultrasound? (Three answers)
Frage 6
Frage
Is this the correct definition for refraction?
When some or all energy is diverted from its original path
Frage 7
Frage
Is this the correct definition for diffraction?
Divergence of a beam from sound source
Frage 8
Frage
Is this the correct definition of Scatter?
Some energy is reflected from a boundary
Frage 9
Frage
Explain attenuation....
Antworten
-
The loss of power or amplitude of the ultrasound signal as it passes through tissue
-
The ability for the ultrasound to 'attenuate' a low signal, thus making it more detectable
-
Attenuation = absorption + scatter + reflection
-
This is the term given to the adaptation of the signal as it finds the target tissue.
