Ch. 5 Wkst 7 & 8 Flashcards
Doppler Spectrum
the range of frequencies present in Doppler-shifted echoes.
Spectral Doppler Display
the presentation of Doppler information in a quantitative form. Visual display of a Doppler spectrum.
Range Gate
a device that allows only echoes from a selected depth (arrival time) to pass.
Duplex Instrument
an ultrasound instrument that combines gray-scale sonography with pulsed Doppler and possibly, CW Doppler.
Fast Fourier Transform (FTT)
a mathematical technique used to generate Doppler shift spectral displays.
Spectral Broadening
the widening of the Doppler-shift spectrum or the increase in the range of Doppler-shift frequencies present that occurs because of a broadened range of flow velocities encountered by the sound beam.
