QuestionAnswer
What is the highest intensity? SPTP
Intensities are important in the study of? biological effects
Which intensity is important in the study of bioeffects? SPTA
Currently, the AIUM states that no biologic effects are confirmed. The AIUM uses what intensity for a focused beam? <1 W/cm sq.
The thermal index is related to? tissue heating
What is the intensity suggested by the AIUM for an unfocused beam? <100 mW/cm sq.
What is directly related to intensities? duty factor
Which is the lowest intensity? SATA
Is The intensity of the beam the same throughout the beam? no
If power remains the same and area is increased, what happens to the intensity? it decreases
If power is increased and the area is decreased, what happens to the intensity? it increases
What best describes the intensity of a continuous wave beam? the beam is uniform across time but not across space
temporal all time (transmit and receive)
pulsed only transmit time
spatial refers to distance or space
What is the unit for measuring intensity? W/cm squared
What are the appropriate knobology adjustments? (ALARA) overall gain, TGC, then power output
Rank the intensities from lowest to highest SATA, SPTA, SPPA, 1m, SPTP

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
