Across
  1. 3. when acoustic fields cause motion of fluids
  2. 6. cavitation the production of bubbles in a liquid medium
  3. 9. a sonographic technique used to evaluate the stiffness of a mass or tissue ergonomics—the scientific study of creating tools and using equipment effectively in order to help the human body adjust to the work environment
  4. 10. rapid heart rate; a rate that exceeds the normal rate for the person's age
  5. 11. imaging technology that provides the ability to view alternate imaging modality (e.g., CT or MRI) during real-time sonography; also referred to as hybrid imaglng
  6. 12. index the calculation used to predict the maximum temperature elevation in tissues as a result of the attenuation of sound
  7. 13. external defibrillator a portable device that is used to detect and treat abnormal heart rhythms with electrical defibrillation
  8. 14. ketoacidosis a complication of diabetes that results from the severe lack of insulin
  9. 15. ultrasound (CEUS) type of imaging in which an ultrasound contrast agent containing microscopic gas bubbles is used to improve visualization of structures or blood flow
  10. 17. wave elastography elastography technique that uses shear wave information to analyze the stiffness of tissue
  11. 19. radiation force impulse imaging— uses acoustic radiation force to compress the soft tissue and provides a qualitative measurement of stiffness without requiring pressure input from the sonographer
  12. 20. a lower-than-normal blood sugar level

  1. 1. ultrasound the technique that employs a miniature ultrasound transducer placed on a catheter and inserted into the circulatory system
  2. 2. of the liver
  3. 4. index— the calculation used to identify the likelihood that cavitation could occur
  4. 5. forces forces exerted by a sound beam on an absorber or reflector that can alter structures
  5. 7. the body's pathologic response to illness, trauma, or severe physiologic or emotional stress
  6. 8. mnemonic, which stands for "as low as reasonably achievable: that is used to remind professionals to keep patient exposure to ultrasound at a minimum
  7. 14. mellitus a group of metabolic diseases that resuft from a chronic disorder of carbohydrates metabolism
  8. 16. infection a hospital-acquired infection
  9. 18. elastography operator dependent type of elastography that measure the change in tissue as a result of compression
