Question

A larger width transducer produces a longer _______ while smaller transducers produce ________. a) Near zone, deep zone b) Focal depth, shorter wavelength c) Far field, wide image d) Near zone, shallow depth

Answer 1

A larger width transducer produces a longer near zone, while smaller transducers produce a shallower depth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is d) Near zone, shallow depth.

A larger width transducer produces a longer near zone, which is the region directly in front of the transducer where the ultrasound beam is narrowest and the image is sharpest. On the other hand, smaller transducers produce a shallower depth, meaning that the image appears closer to the transducer than it actually is.
