chapter 7 Flashcards
Vascular Sonography
It emerged at 1980s and thrived through 1990s to become one of the important studies in ultrasound
Advantages of duplex studies
Duplex studies are safe accurate and cost-effective, and can be performed in adult and pediatric patients
Aphasia
loss of speech
Dysphasia
(deficiency in the generation of speech
Amaurosis fugax
is a painless temporary loss of vision in one or both eyes.
Peripheral arteries:
Extremity pain and/ or paresthesia•Asymmetric blood pressure•Decease in pulse palpation
Peripheral venous:
Extremity swelling
B-mode (gray mode)
to visualize the organs, taking different dimension’s
Pulsed wave doppler (Spectral analysis):
to measure the speed of the blood flow and to evaluate directions•Colored waves doppler
M-mode (motion mode):
mainly used to measure the diameters of a mobile organ as the heart
Extracranial:protocol
A standard protocol for vascular should include gray scale, color doppler, and pulsed wave doppler
Upper extremities arterial:protocol
A standard protocol includes gray scale, color and spectral analysis
Protocol For Venous Doppler
Should include gray scale demonstrating compressibility and color doppler imaging in longitudinal and transverse plains,
Adult Echocardiography
It is noninvasive and is one of the beast studies and bedside studies to evaluate the heart.
Contrast Echocardiography
Is by injecting a contrast gent to better visualize the cardiac compartments
