16
Q

describe laminar flow

A

orderly flow, most RBC are the same velocities

17
Q

describe turbulent flow

A

can be change of flow direction due to stenosis or tortuosity

18
Q

what happens to the doppler shift when you increase the angle

A

decreases

19
Q

when is maximum flow detected?

A

when the flow is moving directly toward or away the transducer

20
Q

lateral resolution is determined by what?

A

the beam width

21
Q

daxial dimension is determined by what?

A

the pulse length

22
Q

PRF is limited by what?

A

depth

23
Q

what is the nyqusit limit?

A

it is ½ PRF and if exceeded aliasing occurs

24
Q

aliasing is caused by?

A

long travel time

high velocity

25
Q

aliasing

A

an incorrect estimation of the frequency of a signal due to insufficient sampling of the signal

26
Q

how can you correct aliasing

A
  • increase PRF
  • lower baseline
  • decrease probe frequency
  • increase angle
  • decrease depth
27
Q

29
Q

Angle of Incidence:

A

Angle formed by the axis of the incident sound beam and the incident flow.
