SPI review 5 Flashcards
flow towards the transducer
increased flow
flow away from trans
decreased flow
the doppler shift ranges from
20-20000Hz
the process by which the doppler freq (shift) is extracted from the trans freq
demodulation
tran freq high, doppler freq is low
doppler shift = rcvd freq - transmitted freq
FD = FR - FE
doppler equation
doppler shift=2xreflector speedxincident freqxcos(angle)/prop speed
doppler shift is directly related to the
red blood cell speed
freq of transducer
cosine of the angle between flow and the sound beam
doppler shift is inversly related to
the speed of the sound in the medium
what does the 2 in the doppler equation represent
double doppler shift, 1st occurs when the sound stikes the cell the 2nd the moving blood cell reflecting the wave back to the transducer
in order to accuratley determine velocity
the angle between the directions of flow and sound beam must be known
doppler measures velocity not
speed
velocity is
magnitude and direction
doppler freq depends on direction. The magnirude of shift depends upon the
cosine of the angle between the sound beam and the direction of motion
angle is
0
60
90
the cosines are
1
0.5
0
doppler shift is inversly related to
the speed of sound in a medium
non coherent processing is used with
unidirectioinal dopper
a basic doppler system (non or unidirectional dopper) that simply identifies the blood flow by the presence of
a freq shift, it does not distinguish blood flowing towards or away from trans
more sophisticated doppler systtem which distinguishes
flow towards and away from trans
bidirectional doppler distiguishes to and from trans by
the measurment of positive and negative doppler shifts
____ __________ is used in bidirectional doppler
phase quadrature
number of crystals in continuous wave trans
two
one is transmitting and one is receiving
advantage of continuous wave dopper
able to measure very high velocities accurately
disadvantage of continuous wave dopper
range ambiguity-echoes arise from entire length of overlap between the transmit and rcv beams
range means
depth
other advantages of continuous wave doppler
higher sensitivity and ease in detecting small doppler shifts
pulsed wave doppler number of crystals
one crystal that alternates between sending and rcving
advantages of pulsed wave doppler
range resolution aka
range specificity
freedom from range ambiguity
echoes arise only from the area o interrogation, the sample volume or gate. we adjust the receive gate
disadvantage of pulsed wave doppler
aliasing, errors in measuring high velocities
