Which statement is NOT true about blood flow to the kidney? Because of the high metabolic demands of the kidney, flow is forward during diastole. The Doppler velocity signal from the interlobar arteries demonstrates significant forward diastolic flow. The velocity spectral waveforms from the medulla and cortex of a kidney are normally pulsatile. The spectral waveform from the arcuate vessels of the kidney of a patient in chronic renal failure show decreased diastolic flow.

The suprarenal abdominal aortic Doppler velocity waveform is triphasic because of the high resistance vascular bed of the fasting superior mesenteric artery. A Doppler spectral waveform from the postprandial superior mesenteric artery demonstrates low diastolic flow because of the change in the vascular resistance of the stomach and small intestine that occurs with digestion.

Which statement best differentiates indirect noninvasive vascular test procedures from direct noninvasive vascular procedures? Indirect test procedures use continuous wave Doppler as well as plethysmographic testing. Indirect test procedures provide morphologic information that allows evaluation of the severity of a lesion. Indirect test procedures detect lesions that are not yet hemodynamically significant, whereas direct test procedures give information only on disease that is flow reducing. Indirect test procedures are physiologic and indicate the presence of significant occlusive disease by demonstrating pressure or limb volume changes downstream from the site of the lesion, whereas direct procedures evaluate the disease at the site where it is located
