You are imaging with a 5 MHz linear array transducers. What sound parameter stays constant as the beam propagates through the tissue?
Frequency, Intensity, Amplitude or Wavelength ( None of the above)
Ultrasound propagation velocity depends on:
Density and compressibility
You notice that the image in the far field is less bright compared to the near field. This is due to:
Sound attenuation
Acoustic impedance:
Equals density times the propagation speed
What determines the speed of sound?
Medium through which sound wave passes
You will NOT see refraction in the sonographic image if:
The sound beam is perpendicular to the interface
The rate of sound attenuation is lowest in:
Water
When you perform a Doppler exam, the frequency of the transmitted signal is determined by:
The frequency if the electrical signal applied to the transducer
Power divided by the beam area is equal to the:
