In ultrasound imaging, what is the primary consequence of a large difference in acoustic impedance between two tissues?.

  1. A.Increased transmission of ultrasound waves.
  2. B.Decreased reflection of ultrasound waves.
  3. C.Increased reflection of ultrasound waves.
  4. D.No effect on ultrasound imaging.

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • Increased reflection of ultrasound waves.

Explanation

Why this works

A large difference in acoustic impedance between two tissues leads to increased reflection of ultrasound waves. This reflection is essential for creating detailed images, as it enhances the contrast between different types of tissues.
