CH 9 Doppler Waveform Analysis

What type of doppler is typically used for extremity evaluation?

CW

What type of doppler signal processing uses spectral analysis?

digital

What type of doppler signal processing uses a zero-crossing frequency detector?

analog

Can doppler discriminate normal flow from mild disease or stenosis from occlusion?

no

If a room is cold it can cause vaso_______.

True or false: Biphasic flow is never considered normal.

false

Does biphasic flow have forward diastolic flow?

no

After exercise, is it normal if there is a loss of the systolic flow reversal?

yes

After exercise, it is normal if the waveforms upstroke is slow?

no

After exercise, it is normal if the waveform has a rounded peak?

no

After exercise, it is normal if there is more diastolic forward flow?

yes

Analog doppler is NOT sensitive to velocities less than ___ cm/s.

6

How do you find pulsitility index?

p1-p2/ mean frequency

A normal pulsitility index = > ____.

4.0

A pulsitility index less than 4.0 is consistent with > ___% stenosis proximal to the sample.

60

Normal systolic acceleration time = < ____ milliseconds.

133

Abnormal systolic acceleration time = > ____ milliseconds.

133

A systolic acceleration time greater than 133 milliseconds suggests an obstruction proximal/distal to the segment.
