Questão 5
Questão
What factors can cause the amplitude to be reduced during an ultrasound? (Three answers)
Questão 6
Questão
Is this the correct definition for refraction?
When some or all energy is diverted from its original path
Questão 7
Questão
Is this the correct definition for diffraction?
Divergence of a beam from sound source
Questão 8
Questão
Is this the correct definition of Scatter?
Some energy is reflected from a boundary
Questão 9
Questão
Explain attenuation....
Responda
-
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.
