coupling agent - ANSWER substance used to reduce the air between the
ultrasound transducer and the surface of the skin
Crura of diaphragm - ANSWER Right and left crus or fibromuscular bands
arising from the lumbar vertebrae that insert into the central tendon of the
diaphragm.
Cystic - ANSWER Fluid collection that does not qualify to be a true cyst
depth of penetration - ANSWER maximum distance the beam goes from the
transducer through a median
Diffuse disease - ANSWER infiltrative disease throughout an organ that
disrupts the otherwise normal sonographic appearance of organ parenchyma
,Doppler Effect - ANSWER change in frequency caused by motion or reflection
Echogenic - ANSWER describes a structure that is able to produce echoes or
echo patterns on sonograms
Echo texture - ANSWER Describes the sonographic appearance of soft tissue
structures within the body.
Extra- organ pathology - ANSWER abnormal disease process that originates
outside of an organ
Focal/multifocal change - ANSWER disease process confined to isolated
area(s) of an organ
focal zone - ANSWER the point at which the sound beam is the narrowest and
the resolution is the best
gray scale - ANSWER scale of achromatic colors having multiple graduations
from white to black
heterogeneous - ANSWER describes an irregular or mixed echo pattern
homogeneous - ANSWER describes a uniform echo pattern
Hypoechoic - ANSWER not as bright as comparable structures
,Inferior (caudal) - ANSWER toward feet or below
infiltrative disease - ANSWER diffuse disease process that spreads throughout
an entire organ
Interface - ANSWER the boundary between two materials or structures
Intra-organ pathology - ANSWER Abnormal disease process that originates
within an organ.
intraperitoneal - ANSWER within the peritoneal cavity
Ipsilateral - ANSWER Situated on the same side
Isogenic/isoechoic - ANSWER Comparative term used to describe an area in a
sonographic image where the echo patterns are equal in echogenicity.
localized disease - ANSWER represents a circumscribed mass or multiple
masses
long axis - ANSWER Longest length of a structure
longitudinal - ANSWER running lengthwise
, Mass - ANSWER circumscribed disease process
medium - ANSWER Material through which a wave travels
mesentery - ANSWER a fused double layer of the parietal peritoneum that
attaches parts of the intestine to the interior abdominal wall
necrotic - ANSWER dead tissue
neoplasm - ANSWER new growth
orthogonal - ANSWER at right angles; perpendicular
parenchyma - ANSWER thin sheet of tissue that lines the peritoneal cavity
acoustic shadows are on type of sonographic artifact.
Ascites - ANSWER Accumulation of serous fluid anywhere in the
abdominopelvic cavity
EX.) Ascites may be visualized in the Postier cul-de-sac of the abdominopelvic
cavity.
