Term
Equipment Testing
Definition
System tests are needed to make certain that there has been no degradation in system performance over time.
Term

Definition
1.Flow Phantoms
2.String Phantoms
3.Vibrating Plate Phantoms
Term
Doppler Flow Phantoms
Definition
1.Imaging Face 2.Medium 3.Flow Conduit 4.Pump 5.Reservoir 6.Blood Mimicking Fluid(hardest).
Term
String Phantoms
Definition
Used to measure peak velocity, spectral broadening,depth accuracy and gate size in PW Doppler. Not good for Doppler sensitivity.
Term
Vibrating Plate Phantoms
Definition
Aka: Sensitivity Phantom. Measures accuracy of velocity readings by vibrating a plate.
Term
Imaging Phantoms
Definition
Test: 1.Detail Resolution 2.Sensitivity
3.Contrast Resolution 4.Dead Zone 5.Dimensional Measurement Accuracy(depth,diameter,area,volume,etc.)
Term
The Gold Standard
Definition
For the purposes of the statistical indices, the assumption is that the gold standard is perfect. The definition of truth.
Term
True Positive
Definition
(TP): The test correctly predicts that there is disease. Test and Gold Standard match.
Term
True Negative
Definition
TN: The test correctly predicts that there is no disease. Test and Gold Standard match.
Term
False Positive
Definition
FP: The test incorrectly predicts there is disease. Test and Gold Standard don't match.
Term
False Negative
Definition
FN: The test incorrectly predicts that there is no disease. Test and Gold Standard don't match.
Term
Patients with Disease
Definition
True Positive + False Negative
Term
Patients without Disease
Definition
False Positive + True Negative
Term
Test is Positive
Definition
True Positive + False Positive
Term
Test is Negative
Definition
False Negative + True Negative
Term
Sensitivity
Definition
The ability of a test to detect disease. TP/TP+FN
Term
Specificity
Definition
The ability of a test to detect the absence of disease. TN/TN+FP
Term
Accuracy
Definition
The percentage of time the test is correct. TP+TN/∑ All Tests
Term
Positive Predictive Value
Definition
PPV: The percentage of times the test was correct when it predicted the presence of disease. TP/TP+FP
Term
Negative Predictive Value
Definition
NPV: The percentage of times the test was correct when it predicted the absence of disease. TN/TN+FN
Term
The "Perfect" Test
Definition
The Test perfectly matches the Gold Standard. 100%
Term
Real World Understanding of Stats.
Definition
1.No guarantee that the Gold Standard is always correct.
2."Good" match to a good standard is a good test.
3."Good" match to a bad standard is a bad test.
4."Bad" match to a good standard is a bad test.
5.""Bad" match to a bad standard doesn't tell much.
Term
Potential Energy
Definition
Stored Energy; the ability to do work.
Term
Kinetic Energy
Definition
Energy related to motion; proportional to v^2.
Term
Conservation of Energy
Definition
Energy is always conserved, never lost, only converted between forms.
Term
Flow Converion between PE & KE
Definition
As flow speeds up PE into KE
As flow slows down KE into PE
Term
Hydrostatic Pressure
Definition
The pressue that results from the force of the fluid from a column of fluid. p=ρgh. 2mmHg/inch or .776mmHg/cm
Term
Capacitance
Definition
Change in volume/time.
Δv/Δt
Term
Volumetric Flow
Definition
Q, volume/time.
Term

Term
Continuity Equation
Definition
Aka: Volumetric Flow Equation
Q=v*Area
Term
Simplified Law of Hemodynamics
Definition
ΔP=Q*R
Term
Poiseuille's Law
Definition
Relates Pressure and Flow
Q=ΔPπr^4/8lη
Assumes: Steady-State Flow, Rigid Flow Conduits and Newtonian Fluids. Which doesn't happen in the body.
Term
Bernoulli's Equation
Definition
Deals with Energy and Flow
ΔP≈4(v{2}^2) or if v{1} is ≥ 1m/sec.
then use ΔP≈4(v{2}^2-v{1}^2).
Term
Laminar Flow
Definition
Normal Flow
Term
Series Resistance
Definition
R(eff)=R(1)+R(2)+etc.
Term
Parallel Resistance
Definition
1/R(eff)=1/R(1)+1/R(2)
R(eff)=R/2
Term
Stenotic Flow
Definition
Nonlaminar flow due to stenosis.
Term
Parallel Series Network
Definition
