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
