True or false: When performing an abdominal scan using the cardiac pre-set, it is easy to get a good image.

True or false: The approximate depth of penetration should be set based on the size of the structure being examined.

True or false: The overall gain and power settings should be set to high values to achieve a good quality image.

True or false: Adjusting the focal zone to the middle of the organ is necessary to ensure the organ fills the whole screen.

True or false: Setting the gain and power settings too low will result in a lack of detail in the background image.

True or false: The gain at different depths in ultrasound imaging is controlled by 6-8 sliding controls labeled TGC or DGC.

True or false: Knobology in ultrasound imaging involves adjusting controls such as frequency, depth, focal depth, and TGC when moving from one organ to another.

True or false: Brightness and contrast are typically adjusted in knobology when moving from one organ to another in ultrasound imaging.

True or false: Pressing 'store' during an ultrasound exam, when the image is not frozen, usually results in a short video-clip being recorded.

True or false: All ultrasound machines have the capability to make measurements using cursors on the screen, such as linear length or area.
