The two-handed technique is used to image:
A. Both breasts at the same time
B. An extremely large breast
C. The main breast duct and nipple
D. Multiple masses within the breast
E. A palpable mass that is mobile
- ANS -C. the main breast duct and the nipple
Which of the following transducers would be the best choice for breast
imaging?
A. 5 MHz phased array
B. 3.5-5 MHz curved linear array
C. 8 MHz annular array
D. 10 MHz linear array
E. 12 MHz mechanical sector
- ANS -D. 10 MHz linear array
Selecting multiple focal zones will:
A. Decrease frame rate
B. Increase frame rate
C. Decrease frequency
D. Increase frequency
E. Increase penetration
- ANS -A. decrease the frame rate
When viewing a mammogram, one always sees the marker in the region
toward the:
A. Axilla
B. Nipple
C. Medial breast
, D. Top of the film
E. Bottom of the film
- ANS -A. axilla
If a breast sonographic image is labeled Rt. AR 2:00 1A, the area described
is:
A. In the right axillary region, upper outer quadrant, just under the skin
B. Radial scan of the right breast, upper outer quadrant, mid breast
C. Radial scan of the right breast, upper inner quadrant, near the chest wall
D. Antiradial scan of the right breast, upper inner quadrant near the nipple,
under the skin
E. Antiradial scan of the right breast, lower inner quadrant, under the skin,
near the areola
- ANS -D.
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:
A. In the lower outer quadrant
B. In the medial breast
C. In the lateral breast
D. In the upper outer quadrant
E. Near the nipple
- ANS -C. in the lateral breast
**the mamm marker CC is always placed near the axilla, which is lateral to the
breast; therefore, the mass would be more located toward the lateral aspect of
the breast

- ANS -C. sound travels faster
Decreasing depth will:
A. Increase the frequency of sound used
B. Decrease the sound intensity
C. Improve depth penetration
D. Increase the gray scale
E. Increase frame rate
- ANS -E. increase the frame rate
. Increasing the overall gain control will:
A. Increase penetration
B. Reduce penetration
C. Cause artifactual echoes
D. Increase gray scale
E. Reduce frame rate
- ANS -C. cause artifactual echoes
. Which of the following allows for better demonstration of small, tortuous
Vessels?
A. Power Doppler
B. Spectral Doppler
C. Color Flow Doppler
D. Continuous wave Doppler
E. Pulsed Doppler
- ANS -A. power doppler
Which of the following affect(s) the frame rate?

Ideally, the elevational focus for breast imaging should be fixed at:
A. 0.5 cm
B. 1.0 cm
C. 1.5 cm
D. 2.0 cm
E. 2.5 cm - ANS -C. 1.5 cm

A. Shadowing
B. Enhancement
C. Reverberation
D. Refraction
E. Reflection
- ANS -B. enhancement

breast sonogram?
A. Evaluate a mass for micro calcifications
B. Evaluate a palpable mass
C. Evaluate a questionable area on mammography
D. Localize for cyst aspiration
E. Evaluate a male for gynecomastia
- ANS -A. evaluate for micro calcifications
When setting the TGC (time gain compensation) control for breast imaging,
the following tissue should demonstrate a medium level of gray.
A. Skin
B. Fat
C. Parenchyma
D. Ducts and vessels
E. Muscle
- ANS -B. fat
