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.

I failed last week, I never know this site , but amazed to see all these questions were in my exam week before. I feel bad now, why I didn’t bother this site. Thanks Cramkey, Excellent Job.
