The direction of the Doppler shift determines:
A. the peak velocity of the flow
B. the color Doppler hue
C. the average velocity of the flow
D. the color Doppler luminance - ANSWER B. the color Doppler hue
Color Hue - perceived color used to demonstrate direction (red and blue or
positive and negative shift)
What is the primary factor that determines the resistance characteristics of the
arterial signal displayed by PW Doppler?
A. vessel course and location
B. branch number
C. part it is supplying
D. origin of blood - ANSWER C. part it is supplying
Which of the following system adjustments would increase the size of the spectral
window?
A. changing from a 4mm to 2 mm sample size
B. decreasing rejection
C. tortuous vessel
D. changing from a 2mm to 4mm sample size - ANSWER A. changing from a
4mm to 2mm sample size
,Which of the following correctly describes an annular array?
A. improved temporal resolution is a primary advantage of annular arrays
B. offers excellent lateral resolution
C. produces a sector shaped field of view with a flat top
D. produces a trapezoid shaped field of view - ANSWER B. offers excellent
lateral resolution
Which of the following correctly describes the specificity of a testing technique?
A. if the rest result is positive, specificity is the probability that the patient actually
has the disease
B. the ability of a test to detect disease when it is present
C. the ability of a test to rule out disease when it is not present
D. if the test result is negative specificity is the probability that the patient does
not have disease - ANSWER C. the ability of a test to rule out disease when it is
not present
Which of the following patients would need a guardian to sign an informed
consent for a pericardiocentesis?
A. a patient that is accompanied by a translator
B. a blind patient
C. a patient with Parkinson's disease
D. a patient with Alzheimer's disease - ANSWER D. a patient with Alzheimer's
disease
The wider the element diameter, the
A. greater the beam divergence in the far field
,B. lower the beam intensity
C. shorter the near zone
D. greater the probe frequency - ANSWER B. lower the beam intensity
- intensity is power per unit area
- as area of beam increases - total power of beam is more spread out across larger
area = reduction in intensity

A. 0
B. 45
C. 60
D. 90 - ANSWER A. 0
________ compares each reflected echo to the same echo from a previous US
pulse to determine if motion is present
A. autocorrelation
B. temporal resolution
C. registration accuracy
D. quadrature detector - ANSWER A. autocorrelation
________ artifact is caused by refraction and results in subtle image degradation
A. comet tail
B. multipath
C. scatter
, D. misregistration - ANSWER B. multipath
_______ is defined was the ratio of two sound intensities
A. sensitivity
B. dynamic range
C. decibel
D. duty factor - ANSWER C. decibel
Which if the following techniques uses the highest intensity beam?
A. B mode
B. power Doppler
C. PW Doppler
D. M mode - ANSWER C. PW Doppler

transducer at intensities below:
A. 1000 mW/cm^2 SATA
B. 1000 mW/cm^2 SPTA
C. 100 W/cm^2 SPTA
D. 100 mW/cm^2 SPTA - ANSWER D. 100 mW/cm^2 SPTA

system parameter must change for sound wave production?
A. propagation speed of the sound produced
B. signal to noise ratio
