ARRT BREAST SONOGRAPHY EXAM
COMPLETE ANSWERS 100% CORRECT (LATEST 2026/2027 )
1. Which method of patient positioning is best for evaluating the medialaspect of the breast?:
Supine
1. The two-handed technique is used to image:: The main breast duct andnipple
Two hands are required as the nipple is rolled over the sonographer's index finger of one hand
while using the other hand to scan along the long axis of the main ductthrough the nipple
2. Which of the following transducers would be the best choice for breastimaging:: 10 MHz
Linear array transducers allow for imaging perpendicular to the chest wall and provide a large
rectangular field of view, including good visualization in the near field.They are easier to keep
in direct contact with the skin, and measurements arereliable because there is no beam
divergence along the edges. Linear array transducers offer variable frequency options and
narrow and variable focus selections
3. Selecting multiple focal zones will:: Decrease frame rate
Frame rate can be affected by changing the number of focal zones, depth of image,and image
size.
4. When viewing a mammogram, one always sees the marker in the regiontoward the::
Axilla
5. If a breast sonographic image is labeled, Rt. AR 2:00 1A, the area described is:: Antiradial
scan of the right breast, upper inner quadrant near the nipple, underthe skin
6. 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:: Inthe LATERAL breast
The mammographic marker CC ( craniocaudal) is always placed near the axilla, which is
lateral to the breast; therefore, the mass would be located more toward thelateral aspect of the
breast
7. A transducer that can operate multiple frequencies is said to have:: Broadbandwidth
Bandwidth refers to the spectrum of frequencies (high and low) emitted by atransducer
8. All of the following statements about high-frequency transducers are trueEXCEPT::
Sound travels fast
