17
Q

All Intensities have a unit of

A

W/cm2

18
Q

T or F? An U/S beam does not have the same intensity at different locations within the beam.
(Spatial)

A

True

19
Q

T or F? An U/S does not have the same intensity at different times.
(Temporal)

A

True

20
Q

The 1st Commandment of Intensity is

A

1) Intensities may be reported in various ways with respect to time and space.

21
Q

The 2nd Commandment of Intensity is

A

2) Intensity is the key parameter with regard to bioeffects. The different Intensities are important in the study of bioeffects. SPTA Intensity is the most relevant Intensity with respect to tissue heating.

22
Q

The 3rd Commandment of Intensity is

A

3) Peak is greater than Average.

Thus, SPTP is the highest Intensity, and SATA is the lowest Intensity

23
Q

A novel way of rating numbers. The _____ of any number represents the number “10s” that are multiplied together to create the original number.

A

logarithm

24
Q

What is the log of 100?

A

10 x 10 = 100, the log of 100 is 2

25
Q

Definition: a logarithmic scale. A relative scale - ratio of the final to the initial strengths. A comparison, therefore, two intensities are needed to calculate.

A

Decibels

26
Q

What are the units of relative amplitude?

A

27
Q

Positive decibels means getting _____ (smaller/bigger). The Intensity is _____ (increasing/decreasing).

A

bigger

increasing

28
Q

3dB means _____ (number) times bigger.

A

2

29
Q

10dB means _____ (number) times bigger.

31
Q

Negative Decibels means getting _____ (smaller/bigger). The Intensity is _____ (increasing/decreasing).

A

smaller

A

one-half

half

33
Q

-10dB means _____ (number). We have fallen to _____ (fraction) of the original value.

A

one-tenth

one-tenth

34
Q

What is the meaning of -10dB? 10dB means _____ (number) times _____ (smaller/bigger). Therefore, -10dB means _____ (fraction) of the original.

A

10 times bigger

1/10

35
Q

_____ Intensity is the most relevant Intensity with respect to tissue heating.

A

SPTA
