Abstract

The aim of the vector Doppler technique is the quantitative reconstruction of a velocity field independently of the ultrasonic probe axis to flow angle. In particular, vector Doppler is interesting for studying vascular pathologies related to complex blood flows. A problem of vector Doppler is data representation in real-time that should be easy to interpret for the physician. In this work, we present a technique for dynamic display of vector velocity maps and some experimental results obtained in vitro with 2-D vector Doppler on flow phantoms reproducing complex flow conditions. An improvement in the map presentation was obtained by using velocity vector field interpolation. In this work, we considered the problem of spatial sampling for vector Doppler, establishing a relationship between sampling steps and scanning system characteristics. Finally, we developed a novel multimedia solution that uses both interpolated images and sound to discriminate between laminar and turbulent flows
