1.

As an ultrasound pulse moves through tissue in a patient's

body it will not undergo a change in:

a. Frequency

b. Amplitude (energy)

c. Physical size

d. Intensity

2. The lowest rate of ultrasound absorption occurs in:

a. Fat

b. Air

c. Bone

d. Lung

3. The rate at which an ultrasound pulse is absorbed

(attenuated) as it passes through tissue is affected by:

a. The pulse amplitude.

b. The pulse frequency.

c. Characteristics of the tissue.

d. b and c are correct

4. You would generally select a high frequency transducer to

get:

a. Better tissue penetration.

b. Better image detail.

c. Faster imaging.

d. Decreased attenuation.
5. When using Doppler ultrasound to determine blood flow
velocity it is necessary for the operator to make a specific
adjustment unique to the Doppler function for:

a. Transducer frequency.

b. Depth of vessel.

c. Direction of vessel.

d. Size of vessel.
