Q
  1. Single solid hyperechoic line parallel to the sound beam and no spaces with in the line is what artifact
A

Comet tail ( JL 358)

20
Q
  1. What artifact occurs when the beam is unable to pass through a structure because of the high attenuation
A

shadow ( JL 359)

21
Q
  1. Refractions at an end of circular structure can cause what artifact
A

Edge shadowing (JL 360) (shadowing by refraction)

22
Q
  1. What artifact and there is too much gain in the focal zone
A

focal enhancement ( JL 362)

23
Q
  1. What artifact when the medium the sound travels has a lower attenuation rate then soft tissue
A
speed error (JL 364) (vertical misregirstration)
AKA range error artifact
24
Q
  1. Which artifact occurs when you see reflectors at incorrect depths
A

Side lobe artifact (page 377 question 8)

at incorrect depths: Speed error, range ambiguity

25
Q
  1. When propagation speed is greater than 1540 m/s reflector is placed what on the display?
A

too shallow?? (JL 364)

26
Q
  1. Grating lobes are caused by what type of transducer?
A

array transducer

27
Q
  1. What artifacts can be solved by lowering PRF
A

Range ambiguity

28
Q
  1. Which of the following artifacts are only found with Doppler
A

Crosstalk/ Mirror image/ clutter (page 363)

29
Q
  1. A grainy appearance of tissue created by interference
A

Speckle? (Page 374) Acoustic speckle

30
Q
  1. Media through which ultrasound travels doesn’t propagate at 1540 m/s, assumed relationship between time and distance is invalid?
A

Speed error

31
Q
  1. Propagation speed errors appear is a what?
A

Step-off as if the structures are “split” or “cut” (page 364)

32
Q

artifacts ( JL 355)

A
  1. What are errors in imaging? One doesn’t belong
33
Q
  • Violation of assumptions
  • Equipment malfunction or poor design
  • The physics of ultrasound
  • Operator error
A
  1. Causes of artifacts? one that doesn’t belong
34
Q
  • Doppler gain set to high

* Incident of angle is near 90% between the sound beam and the flow direction, when flow is at the beam’s focus

A
  1. Two causes for crosstalk know them!
35
Q
  1. Color flash is also referred to as what?
A

??

36
Q
  1. Wall filters are used to reject what?
A

Rejects the low level frequency shifts

37
Q
  1. If the path to reflector is a different length then the returning path what artifact
A

38
Q
  1. What produces shadowing
A

39
Q
  1. Enhancement where does it appear on the image
A

beneath tissue with abnormally low attenuation (JL 361)

40
Q
  1. Which transducer may have poor elevational resolution
A
