THE DOPPLER SPECTRUM – ITS RELATION TO DEVICE SETTING, THE FLOW FIELD AND VESSEL GEOMETRY

G.-M. von Reutern
Neurologische Praxis am Kardiologischen Zentrum – Bad Nauheim, Germany


The following topics will be discussed:
• Parameters of spectral analysis of Doppler recordings.
• Spectral analysis in case of undisturbed flow.
• Spectral analysis in case of disturbed flow.
• Technical influences on the Doppler spectrum.
• Measurement of velocity.
• Angle correction.

 


Key words: angle correction, disturbed flow, Doppler spectrum, flow field, velocity estimation, vessel geometry.
