What about a diagnostic mammogram differs from general "screening mammo"? -

CORRECT ANSWER -It has an additional view, a 90 degree mediolateral

position. A non-invasive imaging modality that uses high-frequency sound waves produced by

electrical stimulation of a specialized crystal, is? - CORRECT ANSWER -

Ultrasound

What causes the intensity of sound waves in ultrasound to fluctuate? - CORRECT

ANSWER -The difference in tissue densities they are traveling through.

In ultrasound, what are the echoes reflected back from the body during an exam called?

  • CORRECT ANSWER -Reflections Generally ___ ___ produce strong echoes, while more ____ mass tissues produce

more weak reflections. - CORRECT ANSWER -- Water tissues

  • Solid Ultrasound images can be displayed as either ____ ____ or ____ ____ ____ that permit

movement? - CORRECT ANSWER -- Static grayscale

  • Multiple video images Tissue/structures in ultrasound that are echo free, lack signal, transmit easily, and are

the dark regions on an image are? - CORRECT ANSWER -Anechoic

Terms used to make comparisons of echo intensities between adjacent structure are? -

CORRECT ANSWER -- Hyperechoic

  • Hypoechoic This term describes two structures that have the same echogenicity, even though the

tissues may not be the same. - CORRECT ANSWER -Isoechoic

Produces diminished noise images, increasing resolution in a hypersthenic patient so

that patient size does not prevent quality images. - CORRECT ANSWER -

Harmonic imaging The major limitations of ultrasound is the presence of acoustic barriers such as? -

CORRECT ANSWER -- Air
