Ultrasound & Phonophoresis Flashcards
generator of ultrasound has a blank circuit which produces electric current of specific frequency
oscillator
frequency of ultrasound is greater than blank hertz
20,000
the blank inside the ultrasound is what creates the sound
crystal
a photon moves along the wave in this type of wave
electromagnetic
ultrasound waves do no have photons that move down the wave, instead they stay in the blank
same place
molecular flow occurs parallel to direction of wave propagation and is known as
micro something
size of the area of the transducer that radiates the ultrasound beam
effective radiation area
intensity can be either blank or blank
spatial, temporal
ratio of spatial peak intensity to the spatial average intensity
beam nonuniformity reatio
percent of time that the ultrasound beam is ON
duty cycle
number of compression rarefaction cycles per unit of time
frequency
lower frequencies go blank in tissue
deeper
absorption blank as frequency increases
increases
redirection of the ultrasound beam away from the surface
reflection
attenuation is higher for tissues with higher blank content
collagen
reflected wave interacts with incoming wave and creates summation causing discomfort
standing wave
formation, growth, and pulsation of bubbles exposed to ultrasound beam
cavitation
bubbles compress during this phase
compression
bubbles expand during this phase
rarefaction
cavitation where bubbles pop
unstable
two non thermal effects of ultrasound
cavitation, microstreaming
ultrasound travels faster through blank than blank
bone, air
any agent that allow for smooth transmission of ultrasound from sound head to tissue
couplant
best transmitters of ultrasound
water, gel
any mode of ultrasound causes blank effects
thermal
higher absorption blank causes a greater increase in temperature
coefficient
.5 intensity temp at 1 MHz, 3 MHz per minute in Celsius
.04, .3
1.0 intensity temp at 1 MHz, 3 MHz per minute in Celsius
.2, .6
1.5 intensity temp at 1 MHz, 3 MHz per minute in Celsius
.3, .9
2 intensity temp at 1 MHz, 3 MHz per minute in Celsius
.4, 1.4
use of ultrasound to push a drug through the skin
phonophoresis
lower the frequency, the greater the blank of the drug
absorption
increasing the wattage of the ultrasound increases blank of the skin
absorption
some drugs cant even get through blank
skin
parameters for phonophoresis with ultrasound
continuous, up to 1.5 W, 5-20 mins
drug with best absorption with phonophoresis
methyl salicylate cream
drug with worst absorption with phonophoresis
hydrocortisone cream
hydrocortisone is absorbed better in blank
ultraphonic gel
