Q

how is pulsatile arterial flow characterized?

31
Q

what does compliance allow for?

A
  • added forward flow

- reversal of flow

32
Q

what is the windkissel effect?

A
  1. pulse forces fluid into the vessel and vessel distends
  2. aortic valve closes, decreasing driving pressure
  3. vessel contracts, pushes blood forward
33
Q

reversal of flow?

A
  • due to contraction of extended vessels during diastole

- no valves to prevent backward flow

34
Q

what is the continuity rule?

A

keep vol. flow rate contant speed will increase

35
Q

what is the continuity rule equation?

A

Q=V x A

36
Q

what tube is the continuity rule for?

A

SHORT SEGMENTS

37
Q

for contunituty rule of area decreaes what happens to velocity?

A

increased (keep Q constant)

38
Q

what is the bernoulli effect?

A

decrease in pressure in regions of high flow speed

39
Q

what is velocity inversly proportional to?

A

pressure

40
Q

what is the doppler effect?

A

change in frequency caused by the motion of a source, reflector or reciever

41
Q

when is the doppler shift positive?

A

gettting closer and the freq goes up

42
Q

what is the doppler equation (t and r)

A

Fd = Fr -Ft

43
Q

what is the doppler equation?

A

Fd = 2 x fo x v/c

44
Q

what is the doppler equation with veolocity?

A

v= 77 x fd/ fo

45
Q

what are the steps of doppler?

A
  1. transducer sends a pulse to a moving object
  2. transducer recieves new f and calculates doppler shift
  3. doppler shift depends on the objects velocity
  4. machine calculates speed based on doppler shift
46
Q

how much doplper shift will occur if the angle of interrogation is non zero?

A

lesser doppler shift will occur

Q

cos1

A

51
Q

what happens when the doppler shift is smaller than it should be?

A

the calculated velocity appears smaller

52
Q

what must a sonographer do to acheive an angle close to 0?

A

heel toe

phase (steer)

53
Q

what information are we getting for colour doppler?

A
  • presence
  • direction
  • speed
  • character
54
Q

how many echoes are recieved with colour doppler?

A

10

55
Q

beam former sends digitzed voltages to the __________

A

signal processor

56
Q

signal processor deteects doppler shifted echoes useing___________

A

autocorrelation

57
Q

autocorrelation

A

mathematical technique that determines mean and variance of doppler shift signal

58
Q

how many pulses are sent out per scan line in colour doppler?

A

3-32

59
Q

what does more pulses sent out per scan line do?

A

increase accuracy and sensitivity but it reduces frame rate

60
Q

what does the signal processor calculate and display?

A
  • mean
  • varience
  • power
61
Q

what is power?

A

intensity of echo related to amplitude

62
Q

what does power depend on?

A

reflectors-more reflection more echoes
impedence-higher Z, more echo
concentration of RBC’s-more reflectors, more echo

63
Q

what is the only thing power uses?

A

uses only the power/strength of doppler shifts

64
Q

what are pros of power doppler?

A
  • no aliasing
  • angle independant
  • increased sensitivity
65
Q

what are the cons of colour doppler?

A
  • no direction
  • no flow speed info
  • no flow character
  • cannot catch a stenosis
66
Q

hue

A

colour itself

67
Q

saturation

A

richness of color

68
Q

luminence

A

brightness

69
Q

how does box size affect FR?

A

bigger the box, less lines per frame??

70
Q

what happens when we lower PRF?

A
  • allows to pick up slower flow

- increases chance of aliasing

71
Q

where in the instrument does the gain happen?

A

amplifiers in the beam former

72
Q

what is esemble length?

A

number of pulses used for each colour scan line

73
Q

echoes _______ cut off amplitude will show as colour

A

below

74
Q

stronger echoes show as ________-

A

greyscale

75
Q

what happens when priorty is set too low?

A

noise or artifacts within the vessel are displayed with little colour

76
Q

what happens when priority is set too high?

A

fills the vessel with colour esp. when there is a low signal to noise ratio

77
Q

does duplex scanning happen all at once?

A

no, tranducer does one at a time

-simultaneous does not exist
