5 Questions
How do different tissues interact with ultrasound waves?
Some tissues reflect directly while others scatter the waves
What is the frequency range of ultrasound waves?
20 kHz - Inaudible to humans
Why do echoes from deep within the body need more amplification?
They are more attenuated compared to echoes from superficial parts
What is the function of a piezoelectric transducer in ultrasound technology?
It converts electrical signals into mechanical (ultrasound) waves
What role do transducers play in ultrasound scans?
Transmitting and receiving ultrasound waves
