Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
What are mechanical waves described as?
Respuesta
  • propagation of energy through a medium by cyclic pressure variations
  • distinguished by energy, frequency and wavelength
  • Man-made forces changing the frequency of the wave
  • similar to ocean waves

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
Which of the following deformable elastic mediums can be used for propagation?
Respuesta
  • Air
  • Water
  • Soft tissue
  • All of the above

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
What is the frequency of a wave?
Respuesta
  • The difference between maximum value and equilibrium value
  • Length of one cycle
  • The number of cycles that occur per second
  • The speed of the soundwave as it passes through the tissue

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
True or false? With heavier molecules the sound transmits with faster velocity
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
True or False? With more compressable materials (eg air) the sound transmits at a lower velocity
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
What part of the beam affects the strength of the echo?
Respuesta
  • intensity
  • transducer
  • shadowing
  • placement

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
What is the change in direction of an ultrasound beam when it crosses a boundary at an angle?
Respuesta
  • Rarefraction
  • Attenuation
  • Beam angling
  • Focusing

Pregunta 16

Pregunta

Respuesta
  • absorption
  • Divergence
  • Scattering
  • Reflection

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
Which of the following has the lowest attenuation coefficient?
Respuesta
  • Blood
  • Lung
  • Soft Tissue
  • Brain

Pregunta 18

Pregunta
Absorption
Respuesta
  • Is a result of internal friction forces
  • Is when ultrasound energy is converted into heat
  • Is the change of direction the beam takes when passing through different structures
  • Directly removes energy from the beam

Pregunta 19

Pregunta
True or false? Beam divergence cannot occur after refraction of a curved surface
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
What is Rayleigh scattering?
Respuesta
  • When the interface the beam hits is
  • When the interface the beam hits is >1 wavelength, scattering occurs equally in two directions
  • When the interface the beam hits is >1 wavelength, scattering occurs equally in all directions

Pregunta 21

Pregunta
Why is scatter a disadvantage?
Respuesta
  • only a small portion of the beam returns to the transducer
  • It creates radiation dose to the patient
  • scattered waves interact with each other to form back scatter patterns
  • Mentally affects the operator

Which kind of reflection occurs when a soundwave strikes a large smooth surface?
Respuesta
  • non-specular
  • diffuse
  • specular
  • acoustic

Pregunta 23

Pregunta
What is acoustic impedance a product of?
Respuesta
  • the material's density and velocity of ultrasound in the material
  • the ultrasound's density and the velocity of the material
  • the weight of the transducer and the velocity of ultrasound in the material
  • the interface beam angle and the material density

Pregunta 24

Pregunta
True or False? Far gain is the amount of gain applied to the distant echoes
Respuesta
  • True
  • False
