The doppler effect is observed as a change in ________ and has units of
_________. - ANSWER Frequence, per second
In clinical imaging, which reflectors produce most relevant Doppler shifts? -
ANSWER Red blood cells
If red blood cells are traveling TOWARD a trasducer, the F emitted by the
transducer is _______ the frequency reflected from the red blood cells. -
ANSWER Less than
What is the range of Doppler shifts commonly measure in clinical exams? -
ANSWER -20,000 Hz to +20,000 Hz
When red blood cells move AWAY from a transducer, the F of the wave reflected
from rbc is _______ the f emitted by the transducer. - ANSWER Less than
What information does the Doppler shift furnish concerning the blood cells that
produce it? - ANSWER Velocity
What is the relationship of doppler shift to velocity? - ANSWER Directly related
(when the velocity doubles, the Doppler shift doubles)

patient. The exams are identical except that the transducer f are 5 and 2.5 Mhz.
, Which exam will measure the highest Doppler shift? - ANSWER The 5 Mhz
exam bec doppler shifts are related to the transmitted frequency

image and Doppler
Continous Doppler has - ANSWER Narrow bandwidth
