The most common anatomic variant of the renal arteries is : CORRECT ANSWERS: duplicated main renal arteries Which of the following describes the proper way to measure an abdominal aortic aneurysm? CORRECT ANSWERS: outer wall to outer wall A renal transplant resistive index should not exceed: CORRECT ANSWERS: 0.80 Which abdominal vessel arises from the anterior surface of the aorta approximately 2cm distal to the celiac axis ? CORRECT ANSWERS: superior mesenteric artery An aortic dissection most commonly originates : CORRECT ANSWERS: In the descending thoracic aorta, just distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery The renal-aortic ratio is invalid in pts with : CORRECT ANSWERS: abdominal aortic aneurysm the flow velocity in the aorta will be decreased with the presence if a AAA. A lower aortic velocity will abnormally elevate the RAR Median arcuate ligament syndrome involves compression of which vessel during respiration ? CORRECT ANSWERS: celiac axis color doppler evaluation of an aortic endograft: CORRECT ANSWERS: can be limited by twinkle artifact and color flash artifact Which of the following describes how to correctly measure the width of the iliac artery ? CORRECT ANSWERS: Transverse view, outer wall to outer wall You are performing a renal artery doppler exam for renal stenosis. The mid aortic peak velocity is 70 cm/s. The RRA peak velocity is 140 cm/s and the LRA peak velocity is 240 cm/s. What Is the renal- aortic ratio for the right kidney ? CORRECT ANSWERS: 2 Right RAR: 140cm/s/aorta 70 cm/s= 2 left RAR: 240cm/s/ aorta 70 cm/s= 3.4 You are performing a renal duplex exam and note that the velocity in the mid segment of the left renal artery is 190cm/s. On closer evaluation with 2D and color doppler, you see that the vessel has a bumpy contour, similar to a string of beads. These findings are most suggestive of: CORRECT ANSWERS: fibromuscular dysplasia hemodynamically significant stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery is diagnosed with the PSV greater than? CORRECT ANSWERS: 2.75 m/s
