Positive Doppler shift
Reflector is moving creating an angle >90 b/w flow and transmitted beam
Time gain compensation helps with?
Attenuation
Increase strengh of transmitted beam with?
Power control
Increase strength of received signal with?
Gain control
Is there ever a gap b/w adjacent pixels?
No
Inverse of frame rate
Temporal resolution
Adjusts the dynamic range of echoes
Compression control
Relationship b/w frequency and depth
Higher frequency, smaller depth
What does increased frequency do to spatial resolution?
Increases spatial resolution
Relationship b/w depth and frame rate?
Decrease depth = higher frame rate
?Sector angle, does what to frame rate?
?Frame rate (less stuff to image)
displays a power spectrum of velocities over time (over a single scan line, like M-mode)
Spectral Doppler
