Color/Power Doppler Mode
X
A protocol has not been specied for images in Color Doppler Mode or Power Doppler Mode.
Therefore, the same limitations imposed on measurements taken in B/W images also apply to
the accuracy of measurements taken in Color Doppler and Power Doppler Modes.
X
Using Color/Power Doppler Mode images to measure accurate blood ow velocity is not
recommended.
X
The amount of blood ow is calculated based on the average velocity rather than the peak
velocity.
X
In all applications, the amount of blood ow is measured in PW Spectral Doppler mode.
Cursor Position
X
All measurements are aected by input data.
X
Adjust the images on the screen so that they are displayed at maximum granularity.
X
Use the front edge or boundary point of a probe to make the start and end points of a
measurement object more distinct.
X
Make sure that the probe direction remains aligned during measurement.
