Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Across
- 6. minimum distance between two reflectors along the ultrasound beam direction
- 10. Lower, away from the head
- 13. towards the back
- 17. Doppler scan that measures blood flow by attributing color to different velocities of movement
- 18. Minimum distance between two reflectors perpendicular to the ultrasound beam direction.
- 19. A transducer that has a motor inside.
- 21. toward the middle or center
- 23. Gel used in an ultrasound scan functions as the medium through which sound energy is transmitted between the transducer and the patients skin.
- 24. Imaging error that occurs in color flow Doppler and pulsed wave Doppler scans sampling rate is insufficient to record direction and velocity.
- 25. The tendency for ultrasound waves to decrease as they travel through tissues.
- 26. an imaging technique that focuses on the different heights of amplitude spikes
Down
- 1. Away from the point of origin or trunk.
- 2. Toward the side
- 3. the ability for sound waves to travel without return echoes because an anechoic space is full of fluid, creating a black space in the sonogram
- 4. in front
- 5. area in which sound waves encounter a dense structure, such as a tumor or fetus, and all waves are reflected
- 7. toward the point of origin or trunk
- 8. early ultrasound modality that shows the time-motion display of the ultrasound wave; displayed as a single scan line, not a visual image
- 9. Am imaging technique that focuses on the brightness of the echo, not the amplitude spikes (such as in a typical 2D ultrasound)
- 11. Highly sensitive Doppler technique that detects moving matter.
- 12. procedure named after physicist Christan Doppler in which sound waves bounce off circulating red cells to measure blood flow;often used to detect the heartbeat of a fetus
- 14. the ultrasound beams enter the body from the lateral (right or left) direction
- 15. structures that return greater echoes of sound waves and appear bright white on a sonogram
- 16. structures that return weaker echoes of sound waves and appear gray or black on a sonogram
- 20. body chamber without echoes; fluid-filled structures that appear black on the sonogram
- 22. change in frequency as the transducer moves away from the source of the sound echoes.
