Ultrasound Energy Flashcards
1
Q
Ultrasound is a form of
A
Mechanical energy
2
Q
Mechanical vibrations at increasing frequencies ist
A
Sound energy
3
Q
Frequencies used in ultrasound is
A
1—-3
4
Q
Sound wave is a form of
A
Longitudinal wave
5
Q
A coupling mechanism like water or gel should be used to prevent
A
Reflection or prevent waves from bouncing
6
Q
What’s a micromassage
A
This is a mechanical effect
The sound wave passing through the medium causes molecules to vibrate
And it enhances tissue fluid interchange and mobility
7
Q
When is the thermal mode most effective
A
In heating the dense collagenous tissue
It will require a high intensity in continuous mode
8
Q
Non thermal is the combination of
A
Cavitation, acoustic streaming and micromasage
