REVIEW OF GLOSSARY TERMS
Matching
Match the key terms with their definitions.
KEY TERMS DEFINITION
1. _____ anechoic a. A region of an ultrasound image with echoes
that are brighter than the surrounding tissue or
brighter than normal
2. _____ coronal plane b. A vertical plane that divides the body into right
and left parts
3. _____ echogenic c. A region of an ultrasound image free from
echoes
4. _____ heterogeneous d. A region of an ultrasound image with echoes
that are darker than the surrounding tissue or
darker than normal
5. _____ homogeneous e. A region of an ultrasound image having mixed
or differing ultrasound echoes
6. _____ hyperechoic f. A plane that divides the body into superior and
inferior parts
7. _____ hypoechoic g. A region of an ultrasound image producing
echoes that are the same as the surrounding
tissue with equal brightness
8. _____ isoechoic h. A structure that produces ultrasound echoes
9. _____ sagittal plane i. A region of an ultrasound image having a
uniform appearance on ultrasound with echoes
that appear similar
10. _____ transverse plane j. A vertical plane that divides the body into front
and back parts
