QUESTION SWITH ANSWERS |\ |\




What action below would be most in keeping with the ALARA
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


principle while performing a diagnostic ultrasound examination?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




A: Allow multiple students to scan an obstetrical patient because
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


the fetus is in a good position for imaging.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




B: Prolong the sonogram to make videos of the fetus for each
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


family member. |\ |\




C: Complete the diagnostic scan in a timely fashion at the lowest
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


output power that achieves a quality image.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




D: Maximize the acoustic output to brighten the overall image.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




E: Extend the sonogram beyond the intended scope of the exam
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


requisition. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔C: Complete the diagnostic |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


scan in a timely fashion at the lowest output power that achieves
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


a quality image.
|\ |\ |\

,While performing a sonogram to minimize risk to the fetus which
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


imaging mode trade off would be most applicable?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




A: Use M-mode instead of pulsed-wave Doppler to measure the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


fetal heart rate.
|\ |\ |\




B: Use color Doppler instead of power Doppler to image the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


umbilical cord. |\ |\




C: Use pulsed-wave Doppler instead of power Doppler to evaluate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


the fetal heart.
|\ |\ |\ |\




D: Use harmonics instead of fundamental to image the fetal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


spine. |\




E: All of the above. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A: Use M-mode
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


instead of pulsed-wave Doppler to measure the fetal heart rate.
