16
Q

This view for imaging a stenosis is misleading when depended upon completely; and multiple approaches must be used in order to avoid recording inaccurate plaque formations.

transverse view

A

saggital, long view

17
Q

Fatty Streak Plaque

A

Homogenous ( same throughout)
Low level echoes

18
Q

Fibrous (Soft) Plaque

A

Homogenous
Low to medium echoes
Very dangerous

19
Q

Complex Plaque

A

Low, medium and high level ( Heterogenous) echoes
soft and dense areas

20
Q

Calcification

A

Very bright, highly reflective echoes
Acoustic shadows

21
Q

Thrombosis

A

Fresh: same echogenicity of flowing blood

22
Q

ICA

A
  1. higher pitched
  2. More Continuous than ECA
  3. Less Pulsatile
  4. Increased flow during diastole
23
Q

Bulb

A
  1. Normal heliac flow will be evident proximally
  2. Blood flows in a spiral motion
  3. Flow is not traveling parallel to the walls
24
Q

ECA

A
  1. Higher peripheral resistance
  2. More pulsatile than ICA
  3. More similar to peripheral vessels
25
Q

CCA

A

Flow characteristics of both ICA and ECA

26
Q

Distal to a stenosis what will your waveforms look like?

A

Dampened: decreased velocities
More rounded upstroke

27
Q

An absent signal means what?

A

Occlusion
Very tight stenosis
Trickle flow

28
Q

Globally elevated velocities can mean what?

A

Increased cardiac output

29
Q

Aortic Regurgitation

A

Has sustained reversal of flow during diastole

30
Q
A
