A test that uses US waves to capture images in the Body US
Travels in straight line through air or medium that can be heard Sound
Bumping of particles creates what Sound waves
It is a local oscillation in a medium that transfers energy through medium Mechanical Wave
Height of the wave's crest which determines its loudness Amplitude
A region in a sound wave where particles have been pushed together making the densest part of the wave Compression
The number of waves produced in a given period of time Frequency
The intensity of the pressure wave resulting in the level of intensity perceived by someone Loudness
Describes the perceived highness or lowness of a sound wave Pitch
The region in the sound wave where the particles have been spread out and are the least dense part of the wave Rarefaction
The measurement of a sound wave from compression to compression Wavelength
Frequency of an US wave > 20 000 Hz (20 KHz)
Active elements found in US Transducers Piezoelectrics
The ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress Piezoelectric Effect
Piezein and piezo means what Piezein = Squeez or Press Piezo = Push
Less resolution but deeper penetration Lower Frequencies
Short wavelength but greater resolution Higher Frequencies
mHz for kidney and liver 1-6 mHz
mHz for muscles and tendons 7-18 mHz
Amplification is done by what TGC - Time Gain Compensation Amplifier
The decreasing of intensity of a sound wave Attenuation
The results of sound wave interaction with tissues Divergence Interference Scatter Diffraction Absorption Reflection
Echoes are large, smooth surface and sound is reflected in a singular direction (Bones) Specular Reflector
Small echoes, irregular shape and reflection returns in various directions (Soft Tissues) Diffuse Reflector
Refers to the propagation of incident sound waves in oblique directions Scatter
Occurs at interfaces involving structures of small dimensions Rayleigh Scattering
When the sound wave is greater than the structure it comes in contact with, it creates a uniform amplitude in all directions with little or no reflection returning to the transducer True
Most of the acoustic energy is reflected - impossible to see deeper Gas or Solids
Why lungs can't be examined by US because of the presence of Air
Imaging through an adult skull or other bones is possible False, not.
Attenuation is a combined effects of... Absorption, Scattering, and Reflection
The higher the angle of incidence, the lesser sound scattering True
Bending of waves can cause artifacts like spatial distortion and lesser resolution True
Absorption of US wave in fluids is a result of frictional forces that oppose the motion of particles in medium True
Physical property of tissues and describes how much resistance US beam encounters Acoustic Impedance
Density and speed is directly proportional to acoustic impedance True
Impedance is defined as Z = pv
Z P V stands for Z = Acoustic Impedance P = Density of medium V = Speed of sound
Found in the body where sound wave travels the fastest Bone - 4080 m/s
Found in the body where sound wave travels the slowest Air - 330 m/s
Ratio of intensity of reflected wave relative to incident wave Intensity Reflection Coefficient
The greater the difference in acoustic impedance between the media the greater the reflection and smaller the transmission TRUE
Reflection Fraction Formula RF = [ ( Z2 - Z1 ) / ( Z2 + Z1 ) ] ^2
A method of describing the reflecting echoes Echogenicity
Darker and less reflection Hypoechoic - Muscles, Blood Vessels
Brighter and more reflection Hyperechoic - Bones, Cartilage
Total Black and no echoes Anechoic - Air, Fluids
Equal Isoechoic

Ultrasound Machine consists of what Transducer Probe, a central processing unit (CPU), a monitor, a keyboard with control knobs, disk storage devices, a printer and so on
A fluid medium needed to provide a link between transducer surface of the patient Acoustic Coupling Agent
Not a good coupling agent because it evaporates rapidly Water
Not a good coupling agent because it dissolves the rubber Oil
Best Acoustic Coupling Agent Water Soluble Gel
Most Essential Component in US Transducer Probe
Piezoelectric effect is also known as Pressure electric effect
