17
Q

Two small cysts, positioned perpendicular to the main axis of a sound beam, are 2.4 mm apart. What determines weather they appear as two distinct images on the systems display?

A

Beam width

18
Q

True or false
Artifacts are likely to appear when the dimensions of the sound beam area are larger than the dimensions of the reflectors in the body

A

True

19
Q

True or false
All artifacts are errors in imaging that do not represent the true anatomy of the imaged organ. Therefore, they are all undesirable and should be eliminated if possible

A

False

20
Q

Who is responsible for implementing a quality assurance action plan?

A

Sonographer

Normal and maximum

23
Q

An acoustic standoff may be used to image

A

Superficial structures

24
Q

Axial resolution is evaluated by scanning

A

Sets of successively closer spaced pins

25
Q

Quality assurance is the routine evaluation of an ultrasound system to guarantee optimal image quality. This should be preformed ______

A

Periodically

26
Q

There are 4 requirements for a quality assurance program. One of the requirements are:

A

Repairs

27
Q

A proper method for the quality assurance program is

A

Image in an identical environment

28
Q

The tissue equivalent phantom will contain which structures

A

Nylon strings, structures that mimic hollow cysts

29
Q

True or false

Normal sensitivity should vary from one routine evaluation to the next

A

False

30
Q

31
Q

The accuracy of reflector depth positioning in A-mode, M-mode, B-mode, and 2-D imaging is called

A

Depth calibration

32
Q

The patient has the capacity to act intentionally, with understanding, and with free will, is

A

Q

When can a patient withdraw consent for the procedure?

A

At any time

35
Q

What should the sonographer do when first meeting the patient?

Q

True or false
As a sonographer, you have the right to tell the patient what you think their exam findings are before the dr comes into the room

A

False

37
Q

True or false
It is best to continue scanning the same type of studies all day and to also add as many patients into the schedule for the best ergonomics on the sonographer

A

False

38
Q

True or false
Gloves should only be worn when you know that you will be handling blood from someone who has something like HIV. You will only need to wash your hands after you scan 5 patients or if you get them dirty

A

False

39
