▐ Volume Flow Measurement Method
■ Both Volume Flow and stenosis can be measured.
■ Measure Volume Flow by selecting Volume Flow in the measurement menu and
measuring related items. Also, the Volume Flow value can be calculated by measuring
other items.
■ The following are the calculation formulas for Volume Flow.

■ Use Vessel Area, TAM values to calculate Volume Flow.
- There are two ways to measure Vessel Area: one uses the circumference (Vessel
Area) and the other uses the distance (Vessel Dist). For further information, refer to
‘Basic Measurements’ in this chapter.
- The TAM (Time Avg. Mean Velocity) value is calculated only when Auto trace or
Limited trace is activated. For more information, refer to ‘Doppler Spectrum
Measurement Method’ in this chapter.
■ There are two ways to measure Stenosis % of each vascular system: one using the
area (%StA ), and the other using the distance ( %StD ).
- %Stenosis Area. : Calculates stenosis ratio using the area of vessels.
1. Select the %StA menu, and a cursor appears in 2D Mode.
