Question 6

Question
Doppler frequency (shift) is:
Answer
  • The infrared spectrum of light, studied by Doppler
  • The frequency generated by ultrasonic transducer
  • The difference between emitted and reflected (received) frequency between to objects in relative motion.

Question 7

Question
For which of the following numerical Doppler frequency shifts is the blood speed the highest?
Answer
  • 1210 Hz
  • 800 Hz
  • 1530 Hz

Question 8

Question
Is it possible to tell the direction of motion of erythrocytes from the sign of the Doppler shift Δf = f - f0?
Answer
  • Yes, when Δf > 0 erythrocytes move towards the transducer
  • Yes, when Δf > 0erythrocytes move away from the transducer
  • No, the sign of Δf does not tell the direction of motion

  • The intensity difference between emitted and reflected waves

Question 11

Question
At what angle (Θ) to the surface of the body should the ultrasonic probe be applied in order to gain a maximum Doppler shift? Consider that Doppler shift is proportional to cos (Θ).
Answer
  • Θ = 45⁰ (cos 45 = 0.7)
  • Θ = 90⁰ (cos 90 = 0)
  • Θ = 60⁰ (cos 60 = 0.5)

  • No, the human body exhibits only capacitive properties
  • No, piezoelectric properties are observed in inorganic crystals
  • Yes, tissue such a collagen has piezoelectric properties

Question 24

Question
Which statement is correct?
Answer
  • The size of the ultrasonic equipment (echograph) influences the acoustic density of imaged tissue.
  • The precision of the ultrasonic instrument does not have an effect on the quality of received images
  • The ultrasonic image, displayed on the monitor, represents the acoustic density of studied tissues.

Answer
  • Infrasound
  • Ultrasound
  • P-waves

Question 26

Question
Infrasound is:
Answer
  • Electromagnetic waves with frequency under 20 Hz
  • Mechanical waves with frequency above 20 Hz
  • None of the above

Question 27

Question
If Δf is the change in frequency between emitted and received ultrasound signals due to Doppler effect during measurement of the linear speed of blood, then:
Answer
  • The speed of blood relative to the stationary transducer (emitter and receiver) is as much great as Δf is greater
  • Blood motion does not affect Δf
  • The speed of blood relative to the stationary transducer is greater when Δf is smaller.
