The duty factor is the fraction of time that the ultrasound system is actively transmitting a signal. Continuous wave (CW) Doppler has the highest duty factor because it continuously transmits and receives ultrasound waves. Unlike pulsed wave Doppler, which alternates between sending and receiving signals, CW Doppler does not have a listening period, resulting in a duty factor of nearly 100%. Therefore, CW Doppler has the highest duty factor among the modes listed.
Reject: This control eliminates low-level noise and weak signals, affecting image quality but not primarily used for contrast resolution.
Output Power: This adjusts the intensity of the transmitted ultrasound waves but does not directly change contrast resolution.
Gain: This control amplifies all signals equally, affecting brightness but not specifically the contrast resolution.
Dynamic Range: Adjusting the dynamic range changes the range of grayscale that the ultrasound system displays, which directly affects the contrast resolution by altering how many shades of gray are visible between the black and white extremes.

Question 54
Which factor causes posterior acoustic enhancement?
High-Frequency Transducer: These provide better resolution but do not directly cause posterior enhancement.
Low-Frequency Transducer: These provide better penetration but are not the cause of posterior enhancement.
Strongly Attenuating Structure: This would cause acoustic shadowing rather than enhancement.
Weakly Attenuating Structure: Structures that attenuate the ultrasound beam less than the surrounding tissues allow more sound waves to pass through, resulting in increased brightness or "enhancement" behind the structure.

Are these dumps helpful?
JeremiahOct 27, 2024
Yes, Don’t worry!!! I'm confident you'll find them to be just as helpful as I did. Good luck with your exam!
Melody
My experience with Cramkey was great! I was surprised to see that many of the questions in my exam appeared in the Cramkey dumps.
ColbyAug 17, 2024
Yes, In fact, I got a score of above 85%. And I attribute a lot of my success to Cramkey's dumps.
Joey
I highly recommend Cramkey Dumps to anyone preparing for the certification exam. They have all the key information you need and the questions are very similar to what you'll see on the actual exam.
DexterAug 7, 2024
Agreed. It's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a comprehensive and reliable study resource.

Do anyone think Cramkey questions can help improve exam scores?
KatieNov 2, 2024
Absolutely! Many people have reported improved scores after using Cramkey Dumps, and there are also success stories of people passing exams on the first try. I already passed this exam. I confirmed above questions were in exam.
Question 55
What method can be used to resolve aliasing artifact?
