2.Laminar flow
-there isparabolic distribution of
velocities ….Fluid near the vessel wall
moves slowly while in the centre moves
faster.

3.Pulsatile flow-It isseen
in arteries with regular
acceleration which resembles
plug flow-to constant flow
which is laminar –and then
there is de-acceleration. In
some vessels there is reverse
flow in part of cardiac cycle
Doppler Spectrum Assessment
Window
•The clear area underneath the spectrum is
called the window.
• Received Doppler shift consist of a range of
frequencies.
• Narrow range of frequencies will result in a
narrow display line.
CW DOPPLER
Continuousbeam emission from one
transducer …received from other. Both
transducers encased in single housing.
Can only examine superficial vessels
Image can not be formed.
Used by vascular surgeons…usually not used
in radiology department.
Gynecologists use to monitor umb art flow
A simple, cost effective system.

CW doppler
Alwaystransmitting and receiving
Just look at the difference in frequency
So – don’t know depth !
Can avoid this (somewhat) by using
intersecting beams.
Pulsed wave Doppler
Pulses – just like real time scanning
Can find depth
Need to “gate” analysis of received pulse, so
we know where the moving objects are…
Angle effects
MaximumDoppler shift at 0 degrees
minimum at 90 degrees – proportional to the
Cosine of the angle between the beam and
direction of travel

#37 Spectral Doppler Modes
Pulsed Wave Doppler
Continuous Wave Doppler (with cardiac option)
In Pulsed Wave and Continuous Wave Doppler, you select the area of interest by positioning a Doppler cursor within the 2-D image. Pulsed Wave Doppler displays velocities within the range bounded by the Doppler gate on the cursor. Both let you simultaneously display the 2-D image and Doppler spectral information or independently display spectral Doppler information.
Auxiliary Continuous Wave Doppler (with cardiac option)
Auxiliary Continuous Wave Doppler uses a special auxiliary transducer. Because of its small size, the auxiliary transducer can access any area requiring documentation of blood flow. You position the auxiliary transducer independently of the transducer you are using for the 2-D image. Auxiliary Continuous Wave Doppler displays only a full-screen spectral display.
HPRF (High Pulse Repetition Frequency)
High Pulse Repetition Frequency (HPRF) allows increased velocity detection at depth and localization of flow. Use HPRF Pulsed Doppler mode when you want the Doppler velocity scale higher than the system can provide in standard Pulsed Doppler mode at a specific gate depth. HPRF generates multiple sample volumes displayed with smaller secondary gates in addition to the standard gate size of the primary sample volume. Excellent Sensitivity.

#103 The Cosine Relationship
COS q
-Beam parallel to flow
-COS 0° = 1, optimum sensitivity
-Beam perpendicular to flow
-COS 90° = 0, no sensitivity
[Review: Define cosine and its importance in Doppler.]
[Example]
If sound beam was propagated at the same angle as the blood flow, the COSq would be 1 and there would be maximum velocity sensitivity. If the sound beam-to-blood flow angle is between a 1 and 89 degree angle, the detected Doppler frequency shift is reduced according to the cosq term. If the beam is perpendicular, or 90 degrees to the flow, the cosqis 0 and there will be no detected Doppler shift. This demonstrates how important it is to have a good Doppler angle to the blood flow.
Note: When a sonographer wishes to identify the presence of flow, this interdependence of flow and the cosine is unimportant (as long as the incident angle is something other than 90 degrees).
