Doppler Pt 1 Flashcards
occurs when blood clots in vessels
thrombosis
narrowing of a blood vessel
stenosis
something closed of blocked off
occlusion
does occluded artery or thrombosed vein show color?
no
___ is a normal cause of turbulence
tortuosity
arterial stenosis can lead to
post stenotic turbulence
filling in of spectral window on doppler tracing caused by turbulence
spectral broadening
pressure gradient = 4 (velocity)^2
Bernoulli equation
peak systolic = 3 m/s
peak pressure gradient = ?
36 mmHg
pressure gradient = 4 (velocity)^2 = 4 (3)^2 = 36
doppler evaluation provides speed and direction of flow
velocity
location where doppler shift is being obtained
sample volume
pressure is lowest at
stenotic site
increasing threshold ___ the amount of color displayed in slow moving vessels
increases
PSV - EDV / PSV
resistive index
if EDV = 0, RI =
1
reducing sample size improves
temporal resolution
changing color map in real time
preprocessing
waveform with 2 components of antegrade flow during cardiac cycle
triphasic
increased frame rate =
more color displayed
flow distal to stenosis
reduced doppler shift (velocity), low resistance turbulent waveform, and greater bandwidth
stenosis demonstrates
high velocity, higher resistance, and lower pressure
____ can reduce beam width artifact, clutter, and crosstalk
increasing wall filter
beam width artifact, clutter, and crosstalk all involve
incorrect display of low level doppler shifts
when referring to blood flow volume throughout the body, ____ and ____ are the best answer
cardiac function
vessel resistance
if speed of sound in soft tissue increases, doppler shift
decreases
FFT requires a minimum of __ samples/cycle to process and produce a _____
2
doppler tracing
