Doppler Principle
fd = 2fo V Cos 0
 c
 c is velocity of sound in
body tissues(1540 m/s)
TYPES OF BLOOD FLOW
 1.Plug Flow
 2.Laminar Flow
 3.Pulsatile Flow
 4.Turbulent Flow
1.Plug Flow-all the fluid moves in
the same speed.
2.Laminar flow
-there is parabolic distribution of
velocities ….Fluid near the vessel wall
moves slowly while in the centre moves
faster.
3.Pulsatile flow-It is seen
in arteries with regular
acceleration which resembles
plug flow-to constant flow
which is laminar –and then
there is de-acceleration. In
some vessels there is reverse
flow in part of cardiac cycle
4.Turbulent
Flow-This is
a disorderly
flow that
occurs in
areas of
stenosis and
downstream
from
bifurcation
Doppler Spectrum Assessment
Window
• The clear area underneath the spectrum is
called the window.
• Received Doppler shift consist of a range of
frequencies.
• Narrow range of frequencies will result in a
narrow display line.
Spectrum Broadening
Loss of the Spectral window is
called
Spectral Broadening.

Uterine Doppler
Umbilical Doppler
CW/PW DOPPLER
CW DOPPLER
 Continuous beam emission from one
transducer …received from other. Both
transducers encased in single housing.
 Can only examine superficial vessels
 Image can not be formed.
 Used by vascular surgeons…usually not used
in radiology department.
 Gynecologists use to monitor umb art flow
 A simple, cost effective system.
CW doppler
 Always transmitting and receiving
 Just look at the difference in frequency
 So – don’t know depth !
 Can avoid this (somewhat) by using
intersecting beams.
Pulsed Doppler

A
A = PRP
B = Pulse Duration
C= Reception Time
Pulsed wave Doppler
 Pulses – just like real time scanning
 Can find depth
 Need to “gate” analysis of received pulse, so
we know where the moving objects are…

Editor's Notes

  • #26 MRA is direct visualization of flowing blood
  • #37 Spectral Doppler Modes Pulsed Wave Doppler Continuous Wave Doppler (with cardiac option) In Pulsed Wave and Continuous Wave Doppler, you select the area of interest by positioning a Doppler cursor within the 2-D image. Pulsed Wave Doppler displays velocities within the range bounded by the Doppler gate on the cursor. Both let you simultaneously display the 2-D image and Doppler spectral information or independently display spectral Doppler information. Auxiliary Continuous Wave Doppler (with cardiac option) Auxiliary Continuous Wave Doppler uses a special auxiliary transducer. Because of its small size, the auxiliary transducer can access any area requiring documentation of blood flow. You position the auxiliary transducer independently of the transducer you are using for the 2-D image. Auxiliary Continuous Wave Doppler displays only a full-screen spectral display. HPRF (High Pulse Repetition Frequency) High Pulse Repetition Frequency (HPRF) allows increased velocity detection at depth and localization of flow. Use HPRF Pulsed Doppler mode when you want the Doppler velocity scale higher than the system can provide in standard Pulsed Doppler mode at a specific gate depth. HPRF generates multiple sample volumes displayed with smaller secondary gates in addition to the standard gate size of the primary sample volume. Excellent Sensitivity.

  • #103 The Cosine Relationship COS q -Beam parallel to flow -COS 0° = 1, optimum sensitivity -Beam perpendicular to flow -COS 90° = 0, no sensitivity [Review: Define cosine and its importance in Doppler.] [Example] If sound beam was propagated at the same angle as the blood flow, the COSq would be 1 and there would be maximum velocity sensitivity. If the sound beam-to-blood flow angle is between a 1 and 89 degree angle, the detected Doppler frequency shift is reduced according to the cosq term. If the beam is perpendicular, or 90 degrees to the flow, the cosqis 0 and there will be no detected Doppler shift. This demonstrates how important it is to have a good Doppler angle to the blood flow. Note: When a sonographer wishes to identify the presence of flow, this interdependence of flow and the cosine is unimportant (as long as the incident angle is something other than 90 degrees).
