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.

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.

8. The angle of reflection is equal to the:
a. acoustic impedance.
b. angle of incidence.
, c. refraction.
d. image resolution.
ANS: b
Angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected sound direction
and a line perpendicular to the media boundary.

9. The display mode that shows time along the horizontal axis and depth
along the vertical axis is:
a. A mode.
b. B mode.
c. M-mode.
d. real-time.
ANS: c
Motion mode (M-mode) displays the depth along the vertical axis versus
the time along the horizontal axis.
PTS: 1
OBJ: Identify ultrasound instruments and discuss their uses.
TOP: Pulse-echo display modes – M-mode
10. Which one of the following statements about the Doppler principle is
false?
a. Doppler refers to a change in frequency in which the motion of
laminar or turbulent flow is detected within a vascular structure.
b. The beam should be perpendicular to the flow.
c. The Doppler shift is directly proportional to the velocity of the red
blood cell.
d. If the red blood cell moves away from the transducer, then the fall in
frequency is directly proportional to the velocity and direction of the red
blood cell movement.
ANS: b
