Amplification is done by what | TGC - Time Gain Compensation Amplifier |
The decreasing of intensity of a sound wave | Attenuation |
The results of sound wave interaction with tissues | Divergence Interference Scatter Diffraction Absorption Reflection |
Echoes are large, smooth surface and sound is reflected in a singular direction (Bones) | Specular Reflector |
Small echoes, irregular shape and reflection returns in various directions (Soft Tissues) | Diffuse Reflector |
Refers to the propagation of incident sound waves in oblique directions | Scatter |
Occurs at interfaces involving structures of small dimensions | Rayleigh Scattering |
When the sound wave is greater than the structure it comes in contact with, it creates a uniform amplitude in all directions with little or no reflection returning to the transducer | True |
