16
Q

What is the disadvantage of continuous wave

A

Range ambiguity. We can’t see so we don’t know exactly where it’s pointing at

17
Q

Anatomical image + Doppler =

A

Duplex image

18
Q

Duplex image can be achieved with what type of probe and why

A

Array probe. 2 crystals are receiving/ transmitting constantly to listen for velocities and the rest are creating an image

19
Q

What is aliasing

A

When the peak velocities of a wave exceed the nyquist limit

20
Q

The nyquist limit is ___ of the pulse repetition frequency

A

Half

21
Q

What characteristics create more aliasing

A

High frequency transducers, faster blood velocity, deep gate (low PRF)

22
Q

5 Steps to avoid/fix aliasing

A

Increase scale, decrease depth, use low frequency transducer, move baseline, switch to continuous wave

23
Q

Grey shades of a spectrum are related to what two things

A

Amplitude of reflected signal, and number of RBCs creating reflection

24
Q

Color flow Doppler reports what type of velocity

A

Average.

25
Q

What are the two types of maps

A

Velocity mode and variance mode

26
Q

The velocity mode map shows what

A

Direction and velocity

27
Q

The variance mode map shows what

A

Direction, velocity and ALSO distinguishes laminar flow from turbulent flow

28
Q

Doppler pockets are also known as

A

Ensembles

29
