- DStrength of the wavelength
6Is this the correct definition for refraction?
When some or all energy is diverted from its original path- ATrue
- BFalse
7Is this the correct definition for diffraction?
Divergence of a beam from sound source- ATrue
- BFalse
8Is this the correct definition of Scatter?
Some energy is reflected from a boundary- ATrue
- BFalse
9Explain attenuation....
- AThe loss of power or amplitude of the ultrasound signal as it passes through tissue
- BThe ability for the ultrasound to 'attenuate' a low signal, thus making it more detectable
- CAttenuation = absorption + scatter + reflection
- DThis is the term given to the adaptation of the signal as it finds the target tissue.

- BFalse
12Is it true that colour Dopplers show the difference between arteries and veins?
- ATrue
- BFalse
13Which of these are relevant to Power Doppler, but not Colour Doppler?
