Contrast resolution d. Transverse resolution 3. Which of the following describes the result of destructive interference? a. The resulting wave is much larger than the original wave b. The resulting wave is a little larger than the original wave c. The resulting wave is smaller than the original wave d. Destructive interference does not occur with diagnostic imaging 4. To produce a transducer with a higher frequency one should: a. Use a thinner piezoelectric element b. Use a thicker piezoelectric element c. Use more damping d. Use less damping 5. Which of the following is not a characteristic of an unfocused singleelement transducer? a. At the face of the transducer, the beam diameter is equal to the element diameter b.
