Chapter 01: Foundations of Clinical Sonography
MULTIPLE CHOICES
1. Historically, the development of ultrasound began shortly after:
a. radio communication in World War I.
b. sonar in World War II.
c. nuclear testing in World War II.
d. the launching of Sputnik.
ANS: B
World War II brought sonar equipment to the forefront for defense purposes. Ultrasound was
influenced by the success of sonar equipment.

3. Visualization of the cardiac structures in the heart was discovered by:
a. Joseph Holmes.
b. Ian Donald.
c. Hertz and Edler.
d. George Ludwig.
ANS: C
In 1954, echocardiographic techniques were developed in Sweden by Drs. C.H. Hertz and I.
Edler.

4. Which one of the following statements about the role of sonographers is false?
a. Sonographers perform ultrasound studies and gather diagnostic data independent of the
physician.
b. Sonographers must possess intellectual curiosity and perseverance.
c. Sonographers must have a technical aptitude.
d. Sonographers must be able to communicate on different levels.
ANS: A
A sonographer performs ultrasound studies gathering diagnostic data under both the direct and
the indirect supervision of a physician. They also must assess clinical history and symptoms,
interpret laboratory values, and understand other diagnostic examinations.
