day 1 Flashcards
form of energy which causes vibraion of molecules within a medium
sound
2 types of UTZ Waves
- longitudinal or compression waves
- transverse waves or shear waves
Above 20,000 Hz
or Above 20 kHz
Ultrasound
16 Hz to 20,000 Hz
or 16 Hz to 20 kHz
Audible Sound
Below 16 Hz
Infra Sound`
phase of wave when the molecules are pushed together
compression
phase of wave when the molecules are apart
rarefaction
sound that is higher in pitch than the range of human
hearing
ultrasound
to write
graphein
sound
sonus
not a passive push-button activity; rather, it is an interactive process that involves a sonographer, a patient, an ultrasound transducer, an instrument, and a sonologist.
ultrasound imaging
Medical imaging with ultrasound is called
sonography
reproduction, representation, or imitation of the physical form of a person or object
image
Pulses of ultrasound generated by a
transducer are sent into the patient where they produce echoes at organ boundaries and within
tissues
pulse echo technique
generates the ultrasound pulses and receives the returning
echoes
transducer
brightness of each dot corresponds to the echo strength,
producing what is known as a
gray-scale image
rectangular display resulting from this procedure often is called ___ or ___, referring to the linear-array transducer that is used to produce it
linear scan, or linear image
second approach to sending ultrasound pulses through the
anatomy to be Imaged. With this method, each pulse originates from the same starting point, but subsequent pulses go out in slightly different directions. This approach
results in a ____ or ____, which has a
shape similar to a slice of pie
sector scan, or sector image
Sonographic scan formats commonly are limited to three
types:
(1) linear, (2) sector, and (3) a combination of the two
clinical cross-sectional gray-scale
sonographic images produced are
sometimes called
B scans
2D imaging, while still being used extensively, has been extended to 3D scanning and imaging, also called _____, method requires scanning the ultrasound through many adjacent 2D tissue
a loaf of sliced bread
volume imaging
Echoes produced by moving objects have frequencies that are different from the pulses sent into the body. This phenomenon is called ___, which is put to use in detecting and
measuring tissue motion and blood flow
Doppler effect
