of the physician. b. Sonographers must possess intellectual curiosity and perseverance. c. Sonographers must have a technical aptitude. d. Sonographers must be able to communicate on different levels. ANS: A A sonographer performs ultrasound studies gathering diagnostic data under both the direct and the indirect supervision of a physician. They also must assess clinical history and sympto ms, interpret laboratory values, and understand other diagnostic examinations. PTS: 1 REF: p. 5 OBJ: Describe a career in ultrasound. TOP: Role of the sonographer 5. In soft tissues, the assumed propagation velocity is (in meters per second) : a. 1320. b. 1450. c. 1540. d. 1650. ANS: C In soft tissues, the assumed propagation velocity (speed) is 1540 meters per second. PTS: 1 REF: p. 9 OBJ: Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles and terminology of ultrasound. TOP: Introduction to basic ultrasound principles - Acoustics 6. Diagnostic ultrasound uses the frequencies of: a. 10 to 15 kHz. b. 1 to 20 kHz. c. 100 to 1000 Hz. d. 1 to 20 MHz. ANS: D Diagnostic application of ultrasound uses frequencies of 1 to 20 million cycles per second (1 to 20 MHz). PTS: 1 REF: p. 9 OBJ: Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles and terminology of ultrasound. TOP: Introduction to basic ultrasound principles - Acoustics 7. The device that converts energy from one form to another is called the: a. digitizer. b. transducer. c. scan converter. d. beam former. ANS: B Piezoelectric elements (transducers) convert electric energy into ultrasound energy and vice versa. PTS: 1 REF: p. 12 NURSINGTB.COM

OBJ: Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles and terminology of ultrasound. TOP: Introduction to basic ultrasound principles - Acoustics 8. The angle of reflection is equal to the: a. acoustic impedance. b. angle of incidence. c. refraction. d. image resolution. ANS: B Angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected sound direction and a line perpendicular to the media boundary. PTS: 1 REF: p. 6 OBJ: Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles and terminology of ultrasound. TOP: Historical overview of sound theory and medical ultrasound 9. The display mode that shows time along the horizontal axis and depth along the vertical axis is: a. A mode. b. B mode. c. M-mode. d. real-time. ANS: C Motion mode (M -mode) displays the depth along the vertical axis versus the time along the horizontal axis. PTS: 1 REF: p. 15 OBJ: Identify ultrasound instruments and discuss their uses. TOP: Pulse -echo display modes - M-mode 10. Which one of the fol lowing statements about the Doppler principle is false ? a. Doppler refers to a change in frequency in which the motion of laminar or turbulent flow is detected within a vascular structure. b. The beam should be perpendicular to the flow. c. The Doppler shift is directly proportional to the velocity of the red blood cell. d. If the red blood cell moves away from the transducer, then the fall in frequency is directly proportional to the velocit y and direction of the red blood cell movement. ANS: B The beam should be parallel to the flow to obtain the maximum velocity. The frequency of the Doppler shift is proportional to the cosine of the Doppler angle. At a 90 -degree angle (perpendicular to flow), the Doppler shift is zero, regardless of the flow velocity. PTS: 1 REF: p. 18 |p. 19 OBJ: Discuss three -dimensional and Doppler ultrasound. TOP: Doppler Ultrasound - Doppler Shift 11. The Fresnel zone is also called the: NURSINGTB.COM
