Q

acoustic window

A

when viewing anechoic structure (fluid filled), structures deep to them are enhanced secondary to wave progression through the fluid

A

deepest viewing
diagnosis only

28
Q

resolution

A

image clarity
how clearly you can differentiate 2 structure

29
Q

axial resolution

A

ability to discern 2 separate objects that are longitudinally adjacent to each other

easy to change

30
Q

lateral resolution

A

ability to discern 2 separate objects that are adjacent to each other

cannot change

31
Q

which resolution can you not change

A

lateral

32
Q

gain

A

overall brightness of image
amplitude of signal

33
Q

turning up gain

A

image brighter
more evident artifacts

34
Q

turning down gain

A

image darker

35
Q

what will you adjust for every pt

A

gain

36
Q

why do you adjust gain

A

each pt has a different body habitus w/different tissue density, volume status, etc

37
Q

doppler/color flow

A

characterizes flow of fluid
inferred by frequency changes

38
Q

moving towards probe

A

frequency increasing
red

39
Q

moving away from probe

A

frequency decreasing
blue

40
Q

Fd (doppler freq shift equation)

A

Fd = Ft-Fr
Fd= 2Ft(V/c)Cos(theta)

41
Q

depth

A

adjusts frequency

42
Q

to see deeper you need _____ frequency

A

lower frequency

43
Q

lower frequency _____ resolution

A

decreases resolution

44
Q

what depth should you start with

A

depth + 1

45
Q

time gain compensation

A

modifying the gain in particular fields of depth

46
Q

probe notch

A

corresponds to indicator in screen to ensure consistent laterality

47
Q

needle will look like ______ on ultrasound

A

hyperechoic line

48
Q

where should you aim your needle insertion when using ultratound

A

1 cm behind probe at the center line

49
Q

how can you differentiate artery and vein on ultrasound

A

vein will collapse w/pressure
artery will pulse

50
Q

what do nerves look like under ultrasound

A

hyperechoic
bundle of grapes

51
Q

what does a clot look like under ultrasound

A

hyperechoic region inside vein
