Based on review of info

Relationship btwn exposure and effects

45
Q

Both mechanistic and empirical have merits but…

A

Strongest argument when both approaches are in agreement

46
Q

Attenuation

A

Caused by 1)Reflection 2) Scattering 3) Absorption

Increases w/ longer distance and higher frequency

47
Q

Rayleigh Scattering

A

Scattering that occurs when structure’s dimensions are much smaller than the beam’s wavelength.
Redirects sound equally in all directions.
Ex: US and RBCs
It increases dramatically w/ increased Freq.:
Rayleigh Scatter= Freq^4

48
Q

Contrast Agents

A

Bioeffects confirmed w/diagnostic US and MI of >0.4 and gas body contrast agent present in circulation.

49
Q

Output Power vs. Receiver Gain

A 
Overall brightness- BOTH
Alters signal-to-noise ratio- OP
Alters patient exposure- OP
Bioeffect concerns- OP
Decrease OP if image too BRIGHT
Increase RG if image too DARK
50
Q

Therapeutic US

A 
Many uses (chemo, break of calculi, etc.)
Long duration US increases blood flow to area and speed healing of MSK injuries
