This is a color Doppler of a normal artery and vein. What would a
sonographer adjust in order to change the appearance of the upper
vessel to a single uniform color?
- use harmonics
- increase the wall filter
- increase the scale
- increase the overall gain
- decrease the wall filter -
correct answer ✅increase the scale
The two circles in the image below are a normal artery and a vein.
What adjustment on the system would you make to fill the lumen
of vessel #2 with color?
- increase the scale

correct answer ✅decrease the scale
Which of the following statements best describes the Doppler
spectrum below?
- Low velocity flow does not appear because the Doppler gain
setting is incorrect
- Low velocity flow does not appear because the sample volume is
not positioned in an area with color in the gray scale image
- Low amplitude flow does not appear because the wall filter is set
at an incorrect level
,Xzone SPI Exam Questions And Answers
- Low velocity flow does not appear because the wall filter is set at
an incorrect level
- Low amplitude flow does not appear because the overall gain
setting is incorrect -
correct answer ✅Low velocity flow does not appear because the
wall filter is set at an incorrect level
