AUTOCOLLIMATED DOPPLER VELOCITY METER

The Doppler velocity waveform.

Figure 1. Spectral analysis and the Doppler display. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) separates the Doppler signal into its component Doppler-shift frequencies and determines the amplitude at each frequency. Most ultrasound machines calculate Doppler-shifted frequencies over 5 msec increments and convert this to velocity information. These velocities are then displayed in a bin whose brightness...

3D velocity from 3D Doppler radial velocity

We present local least squares and regularization frameworks for computing 3D velocity (3D optical flow) from 3D radial velocity measured by a Doppler radar. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithms quantitatively on synthetic radial velocity data and qualitatively on real radial velocity data, obtained from the Doppler radar at Kurnell Radar station, Botany Bay, New South Wales, Austra...

Noninvasive evaluation of left ventricular performance based on peak aortic blood acceleration measured with a continuous-wave Doppler velocity meter.

Peak aortic blood acceleration is recognized to be a sensitive index of global left ventricular performance. In the present study peak acceleration was assessed noninvasively in patients with a continuous-wave Doppler velocity meter. Peak aortic blood velocity and peak blood acceleration were measured by placing the ultrasonic transducer at the suprasternal notch. Measurements were obtained in ...

Myocardial Tissue Doppler Velocity in Child Growth

BACKGROUND In adults, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a recommended component of routine echocardiography. However, TDI velocities are less accepted in pediatrics, due to their strong variability and age dependence in children. This study examines the distribution of myocardial tissue Doppler velocities in healthy children to assess the effect of age with cardiac growth on the various echocardi...
