16
Q

____________ is dependent on the type of tissue the sound wave is traveling through.

A

Attenuation

17
Q

As the ultrasound beam travels through the body it loses energy.

A

Attenuation

18
Q

What are the different interactions of soundwaves?

A

Absorption
Reflection
Scattering
Refraction
Divergence / Diffraction

19
Q

Also known as Backscatter

A

Reflection

20
Q

The higher the frequency of the soundwave, the greater the amount of absorption that will occur.

A

Absorption

21
Q

The energy is transferred from the soundwave into the medium through which it is travelling.

A

Absorption

22
Q

The main factor causing attenuation of the ultrasound beam.

A

Absorption

23
Q

THE ENERGY IS REFLECTED BACK FROM AN INTERFACE I.S KNOWN AS ECHO

A

Reflection

24

ThePOSTERIORSHADOWINGcaused by BOWEL GAS often leads to ______________________of certain organs

A

Non Visualization

25
Q

This normally happens to BONES
and STONES

A

Shadow

26
Q

The wavelength shortens if the velocity is decreased, and vice versa.

A

Refraction

27
Q

Refers to the change in the direction of an ultrasound beam when moving between two tissues that have different speeds of sound (acoustic velocities)

A

Refraction

28
Q

It can cause artifacts.

A

Refraction

31
Q

The ultrasound waves diverges (spreads out) as it moves away from the source

A

Diffraction

32
Q

It is determined by the relationship between the width of the source (aperture) and the wavelength of the wave.
