1、Doppler PrinciplesColor Principles,The Differences,In Grayscale,strong echo reflections cause pixels to be displayed.In Color and Doppler,changes in frequency cause pixels to be colored.,A Doppler Processor,The Doppler processor puts a dot on the“spectrum”based on the velocity of a moving object.,Do

5、a portion of the total velocity.,The Angle Problem,On the other side,the apparent direction appears to be opposite,even though the flow direction is the same!,The Angle Problem,And in the center.there is NO apparent flow.Doppler processors cannot see flow perpendicular to the ultrasound beam.,The Do

6、ppler Equation,Dont memorize this.But remember a couple of rules of thumb:WHATSO WHATThe apparent velocity is You wont get much flow whendependent on the angle()the angle is near 90The higher the transmit Lower frequency probes are frequency(ft),the lower the used to measure higherdetected velocityv

13、er has the limitation that the maximum velocity is determined by the“sampling rate.”The sampling rate is known as the PRF,pulse repetition frequency.If the velocity is too high,the flow will appear to go backwards,just like the clock.,Doppler Summary,Three Key Pieces of Information in a Doppler Sign

14、alVelocityIntensityTurbulenceIn general,flow toward the transducer is above the baseline,flow away is below the baseline.Major limitation is maximum velocity,which is based on frequency and sampling rate.2nd limitation is the angle of flow relative to the transducer.,Color Doppler,Color Doppler uses

15、 the same principals.The system acquires a Doppler Spectrum from many points in the image.For each point,the system determines the average velocity.The average velocity is converted to a color.Generally RED toward the transducer and BLUE away.,Anatomy of a Color Flow Image,The result is an image wit

18、,What is going on here?Why is the blood flow multi-colored,rather than all red or all blue?,Color Flow has Dopplers Limitations,Of the three pieces of information from a Doppler signal,CFM uses only the VELOCITY information.VelocityIntensityTurbulenceAnd has the same limitations:Aliasing:Maximum vel

22、ng angles and aliasing.,Dealing with the Doppler Problems,Remember this?What if we used Intensity instead of Velocity to map the flow information?,Dealing with the Doppler Problems,Velocity asks“how fast is it going?”Velocity is subject to angle problems.Apparent velocity changes with angle.Velocity

23、 is subject to aliasing.Depends on PRF.,Intensity asks“how many are going?”Intensity is not subject to angle problems.How many doesnt change with angle.Intensity is not subject to aliasing.How many doesnt change with sampling rate.,Dealing with the Doppler Problems,The result is color flow that is n

24、ot angle dependent,and not subject to aliasing.We call it Power Doppler Imaging(PDI).It appears to be more sensitive(no zero angle to worry about).,Summary,Doppler provides 3 key types of informationVelocityIntensityTurbulenceVelocity information is subject to angle and aliasing problems.Color Doppler maps average velocity to a color,so it has aliasing and angle problems too.Power Doppler maps intensity to a color,so it does not have aliasing nor angle problems.Frame Rate will be a problem for CFM&PDI unless you have a smart color processor.,
