17
Q

Shorter distance

A

less attenuation

18
Q

lower frequency

A

less attenuation

19
Q

Process that contribute to attenuation

A

Reflection, scattering, and absorption

20
Q

Reflection in only one direction with a smooth boundary

A

Specular reflection

21
Q

Irregular boundaries reflection that radiates in more than one direction

A

Diffuse reflection or backscatter

22
Q

Random redirection of sound in many directions

A

Scattering

23
Q

How are scattering and frequency related?

24
Q

Scattering when the structure’s dimensions are much smaller than the beam’s wavelength . Scatters the sound wave in equally in all directions.

A

Rayleigh Scattering

25
Q

Which scatter results with an organized boundary?

A

specular or Rayleigh scatter

26
Q

Which scatter results with an unorganized boundary?

A

Diffuse or scattering

27
Q

Whats the significance of attenuation in diagnostic sonography?

A

Higher frequency produce shorter waves which create more accurate images. However higher freq attenuates more and is less capable of traveling far or deeper.

28
Q

When ultrasound is converted into another energy form like heat.

A

Absorption

29
Q

How are absorption and frequency related?

30
Q

The number of db of attenuation that occurs when sound travels one cm db/cm

A

Attenuation coefficient

31
Q

The constant value for the attenuation coefficient
