halved
what is the minimum value of duty factor
0%
what happens to the speed of sound in a medum when the bulk modulus of the medium decreses
slower
sound intensity is decreased by 75%. how many decibels of attenuation is this
6db
if a 5MHz sound wave is traveling in the russues listed below, which will have the longest wavelength? fat, air, muscle, bone
bone
what is the approxomate attenuation coefficient of 1
0.5dB/cm
ipedance is the ____ of _______ and ________
product, prpagation speed, density
for soft tissue, the approximate attenuation coefficient in dB/cm is equeal to 1/2 _____ in _________
freq, MHz
as the impendances of 2 media become vastly different the
reflection increases
the angle between an US pulse and the boundry between two madia is 56 degrees, this is called
oblique incidence
refraction only occurs if there are
obligue incidence and diff propagation speeds
with normal incidence what factors affect refraction of US? propagation speeds, frequencies, attenuation coefficients, none of the above
non of the above
true or false, with right angle incidence, reflections are alwayus generated at a boundry if the propagation speeds of the media are different
false
________ is a redirection of US in many directions uniformly as a result of rough boundary between 2 media
rayleigh scattering
under which of the following conditions is axial res umproved? decreased spatial pulse length, decreased pulse amplitude, decreased imaging depth, decreased pixel size, decreased beam diameter
decreased spatial pulse length
the most likely amount of refelction at a boundry between soft tussies is? 1%, 22%, 34%, 99%
1%
the most typical amount of transmission at a boundary in biologic media is? 1%, 22%, 34%, 99%
99%
sound is traceling from medium 1 to medium 2, propagation speeds of M1 and M2 are 1,600m/s and 1,500m/s, there is oblique incidence
angle of incidence = angle of refelction
t or f, doppler shifts always occur if the sound source and receiver are in motion
f
which of the following is associated with power mode doppler? poor temporal resolution and flash artifact, lower sensitivity and good temporal resolution, high sensiticity and high frame rates, flash artifact and reduced sensitity, good temporal resolution and flash artifact
poor temporal res and flash artifact
the doppler shift is a measure of
difference between incident and refelcted freq
in an analog scan concerter what component stores the image data
dielectric matrix
t or f, shadowing may result from high amounts of reflection of US energy
t
typical vaule of a period
.06 to .5 micro sec
period is
the time to complete a single cycle, start of one cycle to start of the next, units are time
frequency is
number of certain events that occur in a particular time duration
typical freq in US
2MHz to 15MHz
US freq
> 20,000Hz
