October 28 Week 9

In this lab we were asked to start playing around with color doppler.  I am still having a bit of trouble understanding the whole concept, but as Bryan said this will all become much clearer when we get to physics.  Boy I can't wait for that.  Sorry that is a bit of sarcasm, I am not much of a physics student. 

Well, I am including a picture of the kidney were I have placed the color doppler to show the blood flow and vasculature of the organ.  I am not sure if I adjusted the gain to an acceptable level.  I do know that I did not go too far, because we do not see a lot of noise.  We are only seeing the flow within the kidney.  I have seen pictures where this has been used correctly, and I think that it makes for very neat images.  I can't wait until this all becomes a bit clearer to me.  I did enjoy the practice of scanning the kidney.
