It is more than 100 pulses per scan line c. It is about 10 to 20 pulses per scan line d. It is typically 0 2. What happens if blood flow is sampled in the center of laminar flow? a. There will be a higher velocity than if sampled toward the edges b. There will be a slower velocity than if sampled toward the edges c. It will be made up of many different velocities d. It will be turbulent 3. Which of the following is false about color Doppler imaging? a. It is prone to aliasing b. It obtains mean velocity information c. It uses autocorrelation as its signal processing technique d. It can measure peak systolic and end diastolic velocities 4. Which of the following is a property of power Doppler? a. Able to obtain velocity information and direction of flow b. Signal is obtained by detecting amplitude of shift c. It is prone to aliasing d. Limited by perpendicular angle of incidence 5. Assuming flow is constant, what happens in a region of blood vessel narrowing? a. There is a significant pressure increase b. There is an increase in the velocity along with a corresponding increase in pressure c. There is an increase in the velocity along with a corresponding decrease in pressure d. Velocity and pressure are unchanged 6. Which of the following is true about the spectral Doppler envelope? a. It is thin when there are many different velocities b. It is thin with CW Doppler c. It is thickened in the center of a laminar flow vessel d. It is thickened in the presence of turbulence 7. What is the term for the pressure difference between the inside of a vein and the tissue outside? a. Hydrostatic pressure b. Autocorrelation c. Transmural pressure d. Kinetic energy 8. A proximal stenosis will look like what on the spectral waveform? a. Reversal of flow in diastole b. Delay in the systolic upstroke c. Triphasic waveform d. Aliasing 9.
