Doppler Flashcards
Doppler Shift (Doppler Frequency)
The change or variation in the freq of sound as a result of motion between the sound source and the receiver
What is the difference between received and transmitted frequencies?
Doppler shift
When reflected frequency is higher than transmitted?
positive change
reflected freq is less than transmitted?
negative change
Doppler measures _____ not _______
frequency shift, not amplitude
velocity, not speed
untis of freq
Hz
Typical audible values created when sound reflects off of RBC’s
20Hz-20 kHz
flow towards the transducers?
increased freq
flow away from the transducers
decreased frequencies
frequency shift is related to what?
velocity
2 MHz-10 MHz transducers are usedto preform doppler ultrasound studies, but doppler shift ranges from?
20Hz-20kHz
The process of extracting the Doppler freq (low) form the transducer frequency (high)?
demodulation
Doppler shift=
received freq - transmitted freq
doppler equation
doppler shift= 2xrefelctor speedxincident frequencyxcos angle/ prop speed
Doppler shift is directly related to:
RBC speed, frequency of transducer, cos of angle between flow and sound beam
Doppler shift is inversely related to:
speed of sound in the medium
velocity (measured)=
true velocityxcos angle
Non-choerent processing used with what
uni-directional doppler
ultrasound system that displays real-time images and Doppler simultaneously is called?
duplex
Phase quadrature processing used in?
bidirectional doppler
number of cyrstals in a CW doppler
2
Advantage of CW doppler
Able to measure very high velocities
Disadvantage of CW Doppler
range ambiguity
Echoes arise from entire length of overlap between the transmit and receive beams
range ambiguity
how manycrystals are needed for PW Doppler
1
Advantage of PW Doppler
Echoes only arise from the area of integration, ample volume or gate. We adjust the receive gate. Range resolution
