Q

Pulses of ultrasound generated by a

Q

brightness of each dot corresponds to the echo strength,
producing what is known as a

A

gray-scale image

17
Q

rectangular display resulting from this procedure often is called ___ or ___, referring to the linear-array transducer that is used to produce it

A

linear scan, or linear image

18
Q

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

A

sector scan, or sector image

19
Q

Sonographic scan formats commonly are limited to three
types:

A

(1) linear, (2) sector, and (3) a combination of the two

20
Q

clinical cross-sectional gray-scale
sonographic images produced are
sometimes called

A

B scans

21
Q

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

A

volume imaging

22
Q

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

A

Doppler effect
