| real-time ultrasonography | Rapid serial ultrasound images produced using a phased array or scanning transducer; produces a video display of organ motion, such as heart valve or foetal motion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gray-scale ultrasonography | The display of the ultrasound echo amplitude or signal intensity as different shades of gray, improving image quality compared to the obsolete black and white presentation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endovaginal ultrasonography | Pelvic ultrasonography using a probe inserted into the vagina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ultrasonography | <investigation, procedure> A technique in which high-frequency sound waves are bounced off internal organs and the echo pattern is converted into a 2 dimensional picture of the structures beneath the transducer. (12 May 1997) |
| ultrasonography, interventional | Ultrasonography using invasive or surgical procedures. Its widest application is intravascular ultrasound imaging but it is useful also in urology and intra-abdominal conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ultrasonography, mammary | Use of ultrasound for imaging the breast. The most frequent application is the diagnosis of neoplasms of the female breast. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ultrasonography, prenatal | The visualization of tissues during pregnancy through recording of the echoes of ultrasonic waves directed into the body. The procedure may be applied with reference to the mother or the foetus and with reference to organs or the detection of maternal or foetal disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ultrasound/ultrasonography | A test in which high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) are bounced off tissues and the echoes are converted into a picture (sonogram). (12 Dec 1998) |
| carotid doppler | <investigation> A noninvasive test which uses high-frequency sounds waves to determine extent of blood flow through the carotid arteries in the neck. Used in the evaluation of stoke and TIA symptoms. (08 Jan 1998) |
| doppler | The use of an augmented listening device for the purpose of detecting the pulse in an extremity. Use in the evaluation of peripheral (occlusive) vascular disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| doppler broadening | <radiobiology> Frequency spreading which causes broadening of single-frequency radiation (for example, spectral lines) when the radiating bodies (atoms, molecules, etc.) have different velocities. Radiation from each individual radiating body has a different Doppler shift, and the collection of radiations at different frequencies broadens the peak of the line in an intensity-vs-frequency plot. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Doppler, Christian | <person> Austrian mathematician and physicist in U.S., 1803-1853. See: Doppler echocardiography, Doppler effect, Doppler phenomenon, Doppler shift, Doppler ultrasonography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Doppler colour flow | A computer-generated colour image produced by Doppler ultrasonography in which different directions of flow are represented by different hues. This technique is typically used to examine blood flow when evaluating heart disease. Where obstructions (for instance, arterial plaques) exist, blood flow will alter according to the principles of fluid mechanics. Eddies and reversals are readily apparent on the colour image. See: Doppler ultrasonography. (05 Mar 2000) |
