Which best describes the process by which ultrasounds images are made?
Low-frequency sound waves are generated by a machine and refracted off of objects, creating echoes that are processed into images.
High-frequency sound waves are generated by a machine and refracted off of objects, creating echoes that are processed into images.
High-frequency sound waves are generated by a machine and reflected off of objects, creating echoes that are processed into images.
Low-frequency sound waves are generated by a machine and reflected off of objects, creating echoes that are processed into images.
What do ultrasounds use?
radio waves
ultraviolet waves
light waves
sound waves
An ultrasound tech is trying to identify an object, but the machine is broken and is not sending out the sound wave. Which statement best describes this situation?
The generated sound wave will not be able to reflect off of the object.
The sound wave will not be generated, so there will be no echoes received.
The echoes will be made but will be unable to be received by the machine.
The machine will not be able to process the received echoes into images.
An ultrasound machine is being used to try to identify potential kidney stones. The machine is working properly and no kidney stones are found.
Which statement best describes this situation?
The generated sound wave will not be able to reflect off of the object.
The sound wave will not be generated, so there will be no echoes received.
The echoes will be made but will not be able to be received by the machine.
The machine will not be able to process the received echoes into images.
