ultrasound.. physics Test

Enter the letter for the matching Answer
incorrect
1.
What is the relationship between PRF and maximum imaging depth?
incorrect
2.
How does time of flight correlate with imaging depths?
incorrect
3.
A short pulse is created in what two ways
incorrect
4.
what is the significance of resolution to the diagnostic process?
incorrect
5.
What is the relationship between PRP and maximum imaging depth?
incorrect
6.
explain why and how the average speed of sound is relevant constant necessary to accurately place reflectors on the screen.
incorrect
7.
What question does axial resolution answer?
incorrect
8.
How does an ultrasound system determine the location of a reflector?
incorrect
9.
A sound wave is created by a transducer, reflects off an object, and returns to the transducer. The go-return time is 39 microseconds. What is the total distance that the pulse traveled?
incorrect
10.
Which is a better axial resolution 2mm or 5mm?
incorrect
11.
Axial resolution measures the ability of a system to display two structures that are very close together when the structures are perpendicular to the sound beam's main axis. (t/f)
incorrect
12.
how are total distance traveled and reflector depth related?
incorrect
13.
One reflector is 5 times deeper than another. The time of flight of sound to the deeper structure is ______the time of flight of the shallower reflector.
incorrect
14.
Axial resolution may also be referred to as...
incorrect
15.
The more cycles there are in a pulse, the greater the detail that will be visualized in the ultrasound scan.(t/f)
A.
2mm because a shorter axial resolution length indicates shorter pulses and improved image quality.
B.
LARRD Longitudinal, axial, range, radial, depth
C.
ultrasound systems computers are programmed with the average speed of sound in soft tissue. The average speed of sound in soft tissue multiplied by the go-return time divided by 2 gives the depth
D.
directly related, PRP (microseconds)= imaging depth(cm) x 13microseconds/cm
E.
by measuring time-of-flight (elapsed time from pulse creation to pulse reception)
F.
five times more than
G.
total distance traveled is twice the reflector depth
H.
false (less pulse= greater quality)
I.
for every 13 microseconds= 1cm reflector depth (for every 13 microseconds of go-return time, the object creating the reflection is 1cm deeper in soft tissue
J.
less ringing, higher frequency
K.
false. parallel or front to back
L.
"What is the minimum distance that two structures, positioned front to back (or parallel to the sound beam) can be apart and still produce two distinct echoes on an ultrasound image?"
M.
6cm
N.
inversely related, when imaging depth doubles-PRF is halved
O.
resolution is the ability to image accurately and the accuracy of an image is the essence of diagnostic sonography
Type the Answer that corresponds to the displayed Question.
incorrect
16.
When the depth of view is shallow, PRP is long (t/f)
incorrect
17.
A sound wave is created by a transducer, reflects off an object, and returns to the transducer. The depth of the reflector is 10 cm in soft tissue. What is the go-return time?
incorrect
18.
The depth of view is set to 20 cm, What is the PRP?
incorrect
19.
Two ultrasound systems produce acoustic pulses. One pulse is 0.4 microseconds in duration and the other is 0.2 microseconds. Which pulse will most likely provide the best lateral resolution?
incorrect
20.
An ultrasounic pulse has a pulse repetition period of 1.2 msec, a spatial pulse length of 2.0 mm and a wavelength of 0.4 mm. What is the axial resolution of the system?
incorrect
21.
When the depth of view is set to 30.8 cm, PRF is ______
incorrect
22.
Which transducer has the best axial resolution? A) 2 cycles/pulse, 4 MHz B) 4 cycles/pulse, 4 MHz C) 4 cycles/pulse, 2 MHz D) 2 cycles/pulse, 2 MHz
incorrect
23.
The axial resolution of an imaging system is reported to be .80 mm at the beam's focus. What is the closest estimate of the system's radial resolution at a location that is 6 cm depper than the focus?
incorrect
24.
How long does it take for sound to make a round trip to and from the skin's surface to a reflector 1 cm depth in soft tissue?
