Q

Analyzing the wave form we also look at _____ and _____ waveforms

A

Pre and post stenosis

17
Q

Clue to whats downstream

A

Increased resistance means possible distal stenosis

Spectral has waves more clear and pushed together in high resistance

18
Q

Upstream clues are

A

Tardus parvus wavefomr

19
Q

Tardus parvus waveform is

A

Very slow rounded wave forms

Suggests proximal stenosis

20
Q

Monophasic wave form

A

Suggests possible upstream stenosis

Thick single waveforms

21
Q

Quantitative index

A

Acceleration time

22
Q

Acceleration time suggests

A

Resistance

Can also show tardus parvus

23
Q

Spectral limitations (4)

A

Sonographer skill
Movement
Range gated to a specific depth
Aliasing

24
Q

Fixing the aliasing (4)

A

Adjust the baseline
Lower the operational freq
Increase your doppler angle —> lowers all doppler shift
Increase the PRF (increases Nyquist), allows for higher doppler shift

25
Q

CW doppler

A

Occasionally used
Two transducer elements - one to send, one to recieve
Oscillator produces a voltage making continuous wave

Sample volume is the large overlapping are of transducer

26
Q

Continuous wave and pulsed wave

A

Often built in the same system
Can toggle back and forth
Often use a “pencil” probe

27
Q

CW cannot

A

Alias

Aliasing happens becasue shift is more than the Nyquist limit
Nyquist limit = half PRF

No PRF in continusous wave

Therefore can pick up very high max values without aliasing

28
Q

CW limitations

A

Large sample volume - cant tell exactly where its coming from = poor rangle resolution

PW has excellent range resolution
