CH 19 - DOPPLER Flashcards
THIS IS THE PROCESS OF EXTRACTING LOW DOPPLER FRQ FROM THE HIGHER TRD FRQ?
DEMODULATION
THIS IS HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE IN FREQUENCY DUE TO THE RELATIVE MOTION BETWEEN THE SOUND SOURCE & RECEIVER.
DOPPLER SHIFT AKA DOPPLER FRQ
WHAT IS THE FORMULA FOR DOPPLER SHIFT?
DOPPLER SHIFT (HZ) = REFLECTED FRQ - TRANSMITTED FRQ
WHEN THE RBC’S MOVE TWD THE TRD THE DOPPLER SHIFT IS ______.
POSITIVE; THE REFLECTED FRQ IS HIGHER THAN THE TRANSMITTED FRQ. (TRAIN COMING AT YOU)
WHEN THE RBC’S MOVE AWAY FROM THE TRD THE DOPPLER SHIFT IS ______.
NEGATIVE (TRAIN MOVING AWAY FROM YOU THE REFLECTED FRQ IS LOWER THAN THE TRANSMITTED FRQ)
DOPPLER FREQUENCIES INDICATE _____?
VELOCITY NOT SPEED.
______ IS A MAGNITUDE THAT INDICATES THE DISTANCE THAT A RBC MOVES IN 1 SEC. IT IS REPORTED IN_____.
SPEED. CM/S
THIS IS DEFINED BY A MAGNITUDE AND A DIRECTION.
VELOCITY
WHAT IS THE DOPPLER EQUATION?
2 x speed of blood x trd frq x cos
DOPPLER SHIFT =__________________________
prop of speed
DOPPLER SHIFT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO ______ OF THE RBC’S.
VELOCITY
THE ____ THE VELOCITY, THE GREATER THE DOPPLER FRQ.
FASTER
What are the 2 doppler shifts during a clinical u/s exam?
1) occurs when the sound wave from trd strikes moving blood.
2) reflections returns to the trd from rbc.
Doppler shift is measured in?
Hz
Velocity is measured in?
distance/time (cm/s)
DOPPLER SHIFT IS ______ RELATED TO RBC SPEED & DIRECTION.
DIRECTLY
DOPPLER SHIFT IS ______ _____ RELATED TO THE TRD FRQ.
DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL
IF THE BLOOD CELLS ARE MOVING _______ TO THE SOUND BEAM, THE ENTIRE DOPPLER SHIFT IS MEASURED.
PARALLEL
VELOCITY MEASUREMENT WILL BE 100% ACCURATE
IF THE SOUND BEAM AND FLOW DIRECTION ARE NOT PARALLEL WHAT DETERMINES HOW MUCH OF THE VELOCITY IS MEASURED?
DEPENDS ON THE COSINE OF THE ANGLE BETWEEN THE SB AND DIRECTION OF MOTION.
WHAT IS THE FORMULA TO CALCULATE MEASURED VELOCITY?
MEASURED VELOCITY = TRUE VELOCITY X COS 0
WHAT IS THE COSINE OF 0 DEGREES AND WHAT DIRECTION WITH THE FLOW BE?
COS OF 0 IS 1, BLOOD FLOW WILL BE TOWARD THE TRD.
THE COS OF 180 DEGREES IS -1 INDICATINGE A FLOW AWAY FROM THE TRD.
WHATIS THE MEASURED VELOCITY IF THE ANGLE IS 90 DEGREES?
0, DOPPLER SIGNALS AND VELOCITIES CANNOT BE MEASURED WHEN THE FLOW IS PERP TO THE BEAM.
WHAT IS THE COS OF 60 DEGREES?
.5
WITH A COS OF 60 DEGREES WHAT IS THE ACCURACY OF THE ACTUAL VELOCITY?
THE MEASURED VELOCITY AT 60 DEGREES IS 1/2 THE ACTUAL VELOCITY.
WHAT ARE THE BEST DOPPLER ANGLES?
HEEL TOE
OR SCAN INTERCOSTALLY
THIS TYPE OF DOPPLER MEASURES THE PRESENCE OF MOVING BLOOD CELLS BY DETECTING A DOPPLER SHIFT.
NON DIRECTIONAL DOPPLER AKA NON COHERET
DOESN’T DISTINGUISH THE DIRECTION OF BLOD FLOW
THIS TYPE OF DOPPLER DISTINGUISHES PATENCY & THE DIRECTION OF FLOW?
BIDIRECTIONAL DOPPLER
A FLOW THAT IS TOWARDS THE TRD WILL APPEAR ____ OF THE BASELINE.
ABOVE
IS FLOW TOWARDS THE TRD A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE DOPPLER SHIFT?
POSITIVE
HOW WILL FLOW AWAY FROM THE TRD WILL SHOW ____ THE BASELINE.
WHAT TYPE OF DOPPLER SHIFT IS THIS?
BELOW
NEGATIVE
WHAT IS THE NML MPV VELOCITY & WHAT TYPE OF FLOW IS IT?
10-30 CM/S & IS HEPATOPETAL
THIS TYPE OF DOPPLER REQUIRES 2 CRYSTALS IN THE TRD AND ITS GREATEST ADVANTAGE IS ITS ABILITY TO ACCURATELY MEASURE VERY HIGH VELOCITIES.
CONTINUOUS WAVE DOPPER
WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE 2 CRYSTALS FOR CONTINUOUS WAVE?
1 CONSTANTLY TRANSMITS & 1 CONTINUOUSLY RECEIVES
WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF CONTINUOUS WAVE?
- INABILITY TO DETERMINE LOCATION OF THE MVG RBC (RANGE AMBIGUITY)
- NO TGC
WHO USES CONTINUOUS WAVE D?
ECHO TECHS
