Questions from Module 3 of the Prinicples component
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does sonographers SSALT stand for? | Size, Shape, Acoustic characteristics, Location, and Transonicity. |
| What are some guidelines for the measuring size of a structure? | Measure largest perpendicular diameters (may not correspond to standard body planes), averaging may be used, HxLxW measurements require at least 2 images, measure along beam axis if possible, may measure next to structure |
| What are some guidelines and descriptors for Shape? | Use multiple images if necessary, describe the overall shape (sausage-like, oval, elongated, serpentine, circular, irregular, etc) and the borders (hyperechoic, smooth, thick, thin, indeterminate, etc.) |
| What are some descriptors that describe acoustic characteristics? | Echogenicity (hyperechoic, high/med/low echogenicity, anechoic), Texture (smooth, rough, cobblestone), and architecture (homogeneous, heterogeneous.) |
| How is transonicity determined and what does it tell? | Look at the echogenicity of the tissues beneath the structure. Shadowing means the structure has high attenuation, vice-versa for enhancement |
| How is location show or described? | shown by taking a sonogram that includes normal structures along with the target; described in general area |
