23
Q

0 and 180

A

flow is parallel to sound beam and measured velocity are equal

24
Q

Cosine 0

A

flow toward transducer

25
Q

Cosine 180

A

flow away from transducer

26
Q

Perpendicular, 90 degrees

A

measured velocity is zero because cosine of 90 is zero

Doppler can’t be measured

27
Q

Cosine 60 degree is

A

0.5, 1/2 the actual velocity

28
Q

Flow toward the transducer is displayed _____ baseline

A

above

29
Q

Flow toward the transducer is displayed _____ baseline

A

below

30
Q

Phase quadrature, or quadrature detection

A

commonly used signal processing technique for bidirectional Doppler

31
Q

Bidirectional Doppler distinguishes

A

which direction the flow is going

32
Q

Continuous Wave Doppler

A

requires two crystals, one transmits and one receives reflections

33
Q

Continuous Wave Doppler

Advantages

A

ability to accurately measure very high velocities

34
Q

Continuous Wave Doppler

Disadvantages

A

exact location of the moving blood cells can’t be determined

35
Q

Range Ambiguity

A

Signals arise from all blood cells in the region of overlap between the transmitted and receive beam

36
Q

Continuous Wave Doppler

Disadvantages

A

Lack of TGC

located deeper will have a lower amplitude than reflections from blood cells that are at shallower depths

Doppler shifts produced by deeper blood cells may be incorrectly interpreted as having been created by fewer blood cells

37
Q

Duplex Imaging

A

Simultaneous anatomic imaging and Doppler

38
Q

Continuous Wave Transducer

A

A dictated continuous wave does not create anatomic images

39
Q

Continuous Wave Transducer don’t use a backing layer which results in

A

undampened transmitted signal

narrow bandwidth

high quality factor

higher sensitivity

40
Q

Matching layer is used in

A

both duplex and dedicated continuous wave transducer

41
Q

Dedicated Continuous Wave Transducer

A

have increase sensitivity

detect low amplitude reflections and small Doppler shift

42
Q

Pulsed Wave Doppler

A

Only one PZT is necessary

alternate between sending and receiving the sound pulses

43
Q

Pulsed Wave Doppler Advantages:

Range Resolution

A

Able to select the exact location where velocities are measured

range specificity, or freedom form range ambiugity artifact

44
Q

Pulsed Wave Doppler Disadvantages

A

inaccurate measurement of high velocity is signaled

45
Q

Sample volume or gate

A

sonographer positions a small marker on image

then calculated the time of flight for a sound pulse traveling to and from the gate

transducer emits a sound pulse and then waits that time of flight before briefly listening for a reflection

46
Q

Pulsed Wave Transducer

A

Contains backing layer

low quality factor

lower sensitivity

wide bandwidth pulses

47
Q

Aliasing

A

most common error associated with Doppler ultrasound

false identity

Very high velocities in one direction are incorrectly displayed as going in the opposite direction

48
Q

Two ways aliasing is created

A

Pulsed Doppler

Doppler sampling rate is too low in comparison to the measured blood velocity

49
Q

Nyquist limit equation

A

PRF / 2

50
Q

Nyquist frequency or Nyquist limit

A

highest Doppler frequency or velocity that can be measured without the appearance of aliasing

51
Q

Aliasing occurs when

A

Doppler sampling rate is too low in comparison to the measured blood velocities

52
Q

Penalty

A

issued when speed is over the limit

53
Q

Two ways to avoid penalty

A

raise speed limit

reduce the speed

54
Q

Aliasing occur when

A

the Doppler shift exceeds the Nyquist limit

55
Q

Two ways to avoid aliasing

A

raised the Nyquist limit

reduce the Doppler shift
