35
Q

pulsatility index definition

A

value of resistance of peripheral bed,

with increased peripheral vasodilation, there is an increase in diastolic runoff and decreased pulsatility index

36
Q

What does increasing sample size do

A

Increases signal to noise ration (SNR) improving sensitivity to low velocity flow

37
Q

What does increasing Doppler gain do

A

Amplifies both signal and noise so SNR is knot improved

38
Q

What doe e wall filter do

A

Removes the low frequency Doppler shifted signal (low velocity flow had low copper frequency)

39
Q

What does low PRF do

A

Appropriate for detecting and displaying low velocity flow

40
Q

What is plus repetition frequency

A

Pulsed wave Doppler instruments determine blood flow velocity by taking intermittent samples of the flow. The rate of sampling is the pulse repetition frequency

41
Q

What is the Nyquist limit

A

The upper limit of the Doppler shift frequency that can be detected accurately
Commonly defined as pulse repetition frequency /2

42
Q

What’s aliasing

A

Artifact of the Doppler flow detection that occurs when the Doppler frequency shift exceeds the Nyquist limit
When aliasing occurs in a spectral waveform, the velocity information is displayed improperly and the systolic peaks are cut off at the top of the velocity scale and appear below the baseline as flow in the reverse direction
Increasing the PRF will increase the sampling rate and reduce or eliminate the aliasing effect. Also achieved by decreasing Doppler angle or using lower frequency transducer

43
Q

Doppler effect

A

Change in frequency of a sound wave produced by a relative motion between a sound source and a listener

When moving towards each other frequency change is positive - increase
When moving away from each other frequency change is negative - decreased

44
Q

Transmitting frequency

A

Depth of imaging is inversely proportional to transmitting frequency. Low frequency penetrates more deeply than high

45
Q

Continuous wave Doppler

A

Transmitting and receiving transducers operated simultaneously and continuously
Can not identify flow st specific site / depth
Qualitative assessment of flow
Bedside Doppler

46
Q

Pulsed wave Doppler

A

Signal transducer alternated between transmitting and receiving
Able to determine flow st specific site / depth
Burst of ultrasound (pulse) is transmitted and after specific time interval receiver is activated

47
Q

Fast Fourier transform

A

Generates amplitude vs frequency profile through analysis of the detected signals

48
Q

Aliasing

A

Occurs when sampling is not frequent enough to capture actual movement
Occurs when nyquist limit (frequency, 1/2 PRF) is exceeded
Is decreased by increasing pulse repetition frequency
Waveform wraps around and appears as flow in the opposite direction

49
Q

Normal carotid bulb flow on duplex

A

Unidirectional flow along the flow divider throughout systole
Reversal of flow at power players region at peak systole
No flow along the outer wall at the end of diastole
