Sound energy weakens as it passes through tissue because parts of it are reflected, scattered, absorbed, refracted or diffracted.

This is called an echo and the production and detection of echoes forms the basis of ultrasound. These occur at the boundary between two materials if a certain property of the materials is different

Not all echoes are reflected back to the probe. Some of it is sent in all directions in a non-uniform manner. The part that goes back to reach the transducer and generate images is called backscattering.

The sound energy soaked up by tissue contributes most to the weakening of an ultrasound wave in tissues.

The bending of a sound wave as it passes around tissue particles in its path.

The change in the direction of a sound wave on being incident upon a tissue interface at an oblique angle.

The change in frequency or wavelength of a wave for an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.

The ability to resolve objects in the line of the ultrasound beam. Factors affecting this include Spatial Pulse Length (SPL) and frequency.

At 90° to the direction of the beam. Factors affecting this include width of the beam, distance from the transducer, frequency.

Refers to the ability to detect that an object has moved. The number of frames generated per second (frame rate) determines this.

The transducer focuses the ultrasound transmission to be as close to a flat plane as possible. It consists of tens to hundreds of scan lines.
