Q

What is the main physical principle behind magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)?

A

MRI relies on radiofrequency pulses that realign hydrogen protons within a magnetic field to produce detailed images of soft tissues.

Q

Which type of Doppler ultrasound is best suited for measuring blood flow velocity in large fetal vessels?

A

pulse wave doppler

16
Q

When is the optimal time to perform a hysterosalpingogram (HSG)?

A

between day 6 to 12 of the menstrua cycle

17
Q

how Doppler ultrasound estimates blood flow?

A

by analyzing the frequency shift that occurs when sound waves reflect off moving red blood cells.

18
Q

In transvaginal ultrasound, which structure is typically used as a landmark to assess the position and angle of the uterus?

19
Q

In diagnostic ultrasound, the speed of sound is assumed to be constant through soft tissues. What is this average speed?
