Q

Range-gating vs. continuous wave

A

continuous wave—no gate:you get everything along the beam

Q

PW Doppler vs. CW Doppler:

A

PW has a sample volume (gate): scanner pays attention only to that one portion of the Doppler beam, ignoring the rest. CW gives you everything along the beam.

Q

Can you change the size of the gate?

A

You can change the size of the gate, though it’s usually best to leave it fairly small for precise evaluation.

Q

What is Spectral analysis?

A

Give a pixel to each separate shifted frequency.Pixel is brighter or darker depending on strength of echo at that frequency.

Q

On the doppler controls what does the Baseline do?

A

Lower the baseline if necessary to give the waveform more room. (Probably no reverse flow for carotid)

Q

What do you not want to do with the gain and why?

A

Don’t overgain.Tacky, and leads to falsely-high velocity measurements.

23
Q

When is a 0° angle used?

A

during echo

24
Q

Doppler angle relative to flow: 90° angle

A

is the worst

25
Q

Why is the 90° angle the worst?

A

cosine is 0, and 0 times anything is 0, so no frequency shift

26
Q

The Apical view has valve flow almost directly toward the beam or away from the beam at what angle?

A

0° (flow is parallel to the Doppler beam)

27
Q

What do we standardize at for duplex work?

A

50-60°

28
Q

Why is the standard for duplex work at 50-60° ?

A

Consistancy Not because it’s more accurate,but because it’s moreconsistent.

29
Q

How do you know what the angle is?

A

Assume flow direction is parallel to arterial walls. And be sure you are oriented correctly (feet to right).

30
Q

VERY IMPORTANT: What do you need to do with the ANGLE-CORRECT CURSOR?

A

Adjust cursor to be parallel with arterial walls.

31
Q

Why do you need to create a good angle?

A

Create a good anglefor Doppler assessmentand velocity measurement.

32
Q

Who creates the angle?

A

YOU do

33
Q

How do you make the walls parallel with the angle correct cursor?

A

Rock the beam to level out the artery.

34
Q

What if a level artery gives you a 70° angle when you line up the angle-correct cursor with the wall?

A

First set the angle-correct cursor so that it reads 60°, even though it is now not parallel with the walls. Then rock the beam a bit more to make the artery go downhill to the left, giving you a true 60° angle relative to flow.

35
Q

If you Steer beam to right, which way is flow going? towards the beam or away from the beam?

A

flow is toward the beam.

36
Q

If you Steer beam to left, which way is flow going? towards the beam or away from the beam?

A

flow is away from the beam.

37
Q

What does the ICA profuse?

A

the brain

38
Q

What does the ECA profuse?

A

the face and scalp

39
Q

What does the CCA supply?

A

both ICA and ECA

40
Q

What is the flow character in the branches?

A

Flow character will be different in different branches

41
Q

What is the ICA flow:

A

low-resistance character —> lots of diastolic flow

42
Q

What is the ECA flow:

A

somewhat higher-resistance character —> less diastolic flow, sharper

43
Q

What is the CCA flow:

A

elements of both ICA and ECA, since it supplies both

44
Q

What is the Normal flow character in arteries:

A

LAMINAR(orderly, concentric layers)Narrow range of velocitiesSystolic window

45
Q

What are you looking for Before freezing the imagefor measurement?

A
  1. Are the waveforms clear? 2. Are the walls clear? 3. Is the angle-correct cursor lined up with the walls?
46
Q

After freezing:

A

Double-check the angle correction.The ends of the cursor should be equidistant from the walls(i.e., parallel).

47
Q

Mainstream velocity criteria PSV > 125 cm/sec = EDV > 100 cm/sec = EDV > 140 cm/sec =

A

> 50% > 70% > 80%

48
Q

Basic generic protocol

A
  1. Transverse up and down 2. Sagittal up and down 3. Doppler at proximal and distal ICA, CCA, ECA
49

Q

Imagine a perpendicular to the beam direction.

If the flow direction is above that perpendicular, flow is more toward the beam than away.

If flow direction is below the perpendicular,then flow is more away than toward.

A

If the flow direction is above that perpendicular, flow is more toward the beam than away.

If flow direction is below the perpendicular, then flow is more away than toward.
