Test Review Flashcards
Movement of fluid from one location to another?
Velocity
Fluid moving with a variable velocity accelerates and decelerates?
Pulsitile and Phasic flow?? (idk which she’s looking for)
Movement of fluid from one location to another that accelerates and decelerates w/ respiration?
Phasic Flow
Flow pattern seen with normal physiological states?
Laminar Flow
Chaotic flow in many directions and speeds?
Turbulent Flow
Frictional loss, blood slide along vessel wall is considered what?
Heat?
Reynolds number, turbulent flow?
> 2,000
What the effects of stenosis are?
change in flow direction↑ velocity as vessels narrowsturbulence downstream from the stenosispressure gradient across the stenosisloss of pulsatility
Next 5 questions are about hydrostatic pressure?These are all in supine
Ankle 140mmHg heart 0mmHg 140 mmHg (140 + 0) Knee ‘‘mid Chest ‘‘Top of head’’
Doppler shift provide info about what?
Velocity
Positive and negative Doppler shift?Positive
toward transducerreflected higher than transmittedarterial
Positive and negative Doppler shift?Negative
away from transducerreflected lower than transmittedvenous
Typical range of Doppler shift found in imaging examinations?
Audible20Hz - 20kHz
If the sample volume is deep, the PRF and Nyquist limit is what?
low, creates aliasing
Phenomenon high velocity is negative?
Aliasing
Five ways to eliminate aliasing?
- adjust scale2. shallower3. ↓ frequency4. Baseline5. Continuous Wave
Large and small sample volumes, which will fill in on Doppler?
Large, spectral broading
