C. The main breast duct and nipple
D. Multiple masses within the breast
E. A palpable mass that is mobile -Answer-C. the main breast duct
and the nipple
16. Which of the following transducers would be the best choice for
breast
imaging?
A. 5 MHz phased array
B. 3.5-5 MHz curved linear array
C. 8 MHz annular array
D. 10 MHz linear array
E. 12 MHz mechanical sector -Answer-D. 10 MHz linear array

A. Decrease frame rate
B. Increase frame rate
C. Decrease frequency
D. Increase frequency
E. Increase penetration -Answer-A. decrease the frame rate
18. When viewing a mammogram, one always sees the marker in the
region
toward the:
A. Axilla
B. Nipple
C. Medial breast
D. Top of the film
E. Bottom of the film -Answer-A. axilla
, 19. If a breast sonographic image is labeled Rt. AR 2:00 1A, the area
described
is:
A. In the right axillary region, upper outer quadrant, just under the skin
B. Radial scan of the right breast, upper outer quadrant, mid breast
C. Radial scan of the right breast, upper inner quadrant, near the
chest wall
D. Antiradial scan of the right breast, upper inner quadrant near the
nipple, under the skin
E. Antiradial scan of the right breast, lower inner quadrant, under the
skin, near the areola -Answer-D.
20. When viewing a mammogram, a mass is marked near the CC
