Question
Answer
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  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
