Answer
-
1-20MHz
-
100-250MHz
-
1000-2500MHz
Question 4
Question
What is absorption? (Ultrasonography)
Answer
-
When the US energy is converted into heat
-
When US energy is unable to be detect
-
When the US energy reaches a point and bounces back to the detector
Question 5
Question
What factors can cause the amplitude to be reduced during an ultrasound? (Three answers)
Question 6
Question
Is this the correct definition for refraction?
When some or all energy is diverted from its original path
Question 7
Question
Is this the correct definition for diffraction?
Divergence of a beam from sound source
Question 8
Question
Is this the correct definition of Scatter?
Some energy is reflected from a boundary
Question 9
Question
Explain attenuation....
Answer
-
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.
