Technology is so advanced nowadays that doctors use ultrasound to date a baby. The doctors do it by measuring certain perimeters of a baby during a detailed scan during the second trimester of pregnancy. Which of the following can you see during a detailed scan of a fetus? |
| |
|
femur length
|
| |
|
fetal brain |
| |
|
abdominal circumference |
| |
|
all of the above |
| |

Lower abdominal scan shows you the kidneys, uterus and urinary bladder. Ultrasound does not show images well through air and makes the images on screen blur. A full bladder (urine in bladder) helps by creating a window for the ultrasound to pass through. Which scan below requires a full bladder? |
| |
|
musculoskeletal scan |
| |
|
pelvic scan |
| |
|
thyroid scan |
| |

A medium is normally used in an ultrasound scan so that there will be good contact between your body and the probe or otherwise known as a transducer. What is used together with the probe/transducer during an ultrasound scan? |
| |
|
wet cloth |
| |
|
water-based gel |
| |
|
water |

A sonogram, also known as an ultrasound, is a computerized picture taken by bouncing sound waves off organs and other interior body parts. There are a lot of reasons why a sonogram does not show up well and looks hazy or unclear. What does not show up well on a sonogram? |
| |
|
fluid-filled structure |
| |
|
air-filled structure |
| |
|
soft tissue |

There are a few kinds of ultrasound that can be performed on a human body. Among them are to scan for babies help to monitor the growth of an unborn child, to detect abnormalities of heart structures such as the heart valves, to help to diagnose problems of the liver, gallbladder (such as gallstones), pancreas, thyroid gland, lymph nodes, ovaries, testes, kidneys, bladder and breast, to detect abnormal widening of blood vessels and much more. What is Doppler ultrasound used for? |
| |
|
evaluate blood flow |
| |
|
to check for gallstones |
| |
|
evaluate muscle reflexes |

There are a few areas of specialization in Ultrasonography such as echocardiography to study the heart, pediatrics to study on children, vascular to study on blood flow, Obstetrics and Gynecology and many more. Is there a difference between Obstetrics and Gynecology? |
| |
|
yes |
| |
|
no |

Ionizing radiation has many practical uses in medicine, research, construction, and other areas, but presents a health hazard if used improperly. If enough ionizations occur in a biological system, they can be destructive, by such means as causing DNA damage in individual cells. Does ultrasound possesses any ionizing radiation elements? |
| |
|
yes |
| |
|
no |
| |
|
