Vascular Ultrasound Exam 1 UPDATED
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
Detect the presence/absence of blood flood, direction of flow, disturbance of flow, tissue
characterization, doppler waveform analysis - CORRECT ANSWER - What is the blood
flow analysis?
To know the course of blood and analyze the spectrum/color map - CORRECT
ANSWER - What is the purpose of knowing the direction of flow?
Evaluate for increased velocity
Evaluate for obstruction of flow
To get a general idea of how blood is flowing - CORRECT ANSWER - What is the
purpose of knowing the disturbance of flow?
Perfusion patterns of some tissues
Perfusion patterns of states of tissue activity - CORRECT ANSWER - What is the promise
for characterizing the tissue?
Velocity
turbulance - CORRECT ANSWER - What is the spectral anaylisis?
Non Resistive Waveforms - CORRECT ANSWER - high diastolic component
Supply organs that need constant perfusion aka ICA, HA, RA
Resistive Waveforms - CORRECT ANSWER - little or reversed diastolic component,
organs don't need constant supply
PSV and EDV have a higher value
A-B/A - CORRECT ANSWER - Resistive index
, A-B/Mean - CORRECT ANSWER - Pulsatility index
R and L CIA - CORRECT ANSWER - The distal AO bifurcates into what vessels
Internal and external iliac artery - CORRECT ANSWER - The common iliac artery divides
into what 2 arteries at the lumbosacral junction
hypogastric artery - CORRECT ANSWER - Another name for the internal iliac artery
pelvic wall, gluteal, pelvic visceral, thigh, perineum - CORRECT ANSWER - the internal
iliac artery provides flow where
Anterior and posterior - CORRECT ANSWER - The internal iliac artery descends into the
pelvis dividing into..
Larger - CORRECT ANSWER - Is the EIA larger or smaller the IIA?
External iliac artery - CORRECT ANSWER - What vessel is a continuation of the CIA?
It travels lateral and inferior along the medial aspect of the psoas muscle
inferior epigastric artery - CORRECT ANSWER - Superior to the inguinal ligament is
what?
It branches off the EIA to supply abdominal muscles and skin
CFA - CORRECT ANSWER - What does the external iliac artery become after it passes
under the inguinal ligament?
