The optimum operating frequency for a broad-bandwidth

transducer would be : Correct Answer 10 MHz

In breast sonography, what is NOT significantly affected by the limited field of view when imaging superficial structures? Correct Answer Temporal resolution

Which of the following affects the actual intensity of the sound utilized for imaging? Correct Answer Output power

The dynamic range of a display is the : Correct Answer Number of

gray shades

Using color/power doppler while a patient hums to better dilineate

a mass is called : Correct Answer Fremitus

A standoff pad thicker than 1 cm is not recommended because it

will : Correct Answer Affect the optimal placement of the fixed

elevation plane focus

Which type of transducer does NOT allow the sonographer to vary the focusing capabilities? Correct Answer Mechanical sector

  • / 4

When taking patient history for a breast sonogram, what information from a previous mammogram would not be considered relevant? Correct Answer Name of radiographer

Image of amplitude is affected by : Correct Answer Power, overall

gain, and time gain compensation (TGC)

High-frequency transducers used in breast imaging provide

excellent resolution of breast tissues but limited : Correct Answer

Penetration

When using the 123-ABC method of annotation, "B" would

indicate : Correct Answer Mass is in the mammary zone

In the 123-ABC method of annotation, the number denote the :

Correct Answer Distance from the nipple

Which method of patient positioning is the best for evaluation the medial aspect of the breast ? Correct Answer Supine

The two-handed technique is used to image : Correct Answer The

main breast duct and nipple

Which of the following transducers would be the best choice for breast imaging ? Correct Answer 10 MHz linear array

Selecting multiple focal zones will : Correct Answer Decrease

frame rate

When viewing a mammogram, one always sees the marker in the

region toward : Correct Answer Axilla

If a breast sonographic image is labeled "Rt. AR 2:00 1A", the

area described is : Correct Answer Antiradial scan of the right

breast, upper inner quadrant near the nipple, under the skin 2 / 4

When viewing a mammogram, a mass is marked near the CC marker in the right breast. This will indicate to the sonographer

that the mass is located : Correct Answer In the lateral breast

A transducer that can operate at multiple frequencies is said to

have : Correct Answer Broad bandwidth

All of the following statements about high-frequency transducers

are true : Correct Answer - Axial resolution is increased

  • Lateral resolution is increased
  • Sound penetration is decreased
  • Best for breast imaging

The following statement about high-frequency transducers is false

: Correct Answer Sound travels faster

Decreasing depth will : Correct Answer Increase the frame rate

Increasing the overall gain control will : Correct Answer Cause

artifactual echoes

What allows for better demonstration of small, tortuous vessels ?Correct Answer Power doppler

What affects the frame rate ? Correct Answer Number of focal zones and size of image

The lactiferous ducts are best seen when scanning : Correct

Answer Radial

The orthogonal (defined as perpendicular) view from the

longitudinal scan is : Correct Answer Transverse

Adequate penetration of the breast is determined by imaging the :

Correct Answer Pectoral muscles

If a mass is isoechoic with surrounding tissues, what maneuver would accentuate the mass to make it show up better ? Correct Answer Apply harmonics

What transducer feature would not be good for breast imaging ?Correct Answer Curved linear array format

Lateral resolution is best at the : Correct Answer Focal zone
