Chapter 5 Measurements and Calculations
D Velocity
This is a basic measurement that is available in Spectral Doppler Mode only. You can specify two points
in a Spectral Doppler image and measure the distance between them, and the velocity at each point to
calculate the velocity change, time change and acceleration.
NOTE: In a Spectral Doppler image, the X- and Y-axes represent time and velocity, respectively.
1.
Sele
ct D Velocity in
the
Soft Menu

.
D Velocity will appe
ar in the user information area.
2.
Specify two points and then measure the shortest distance between them. The way that it is measured
is the same as in ‘Distance.’
3.
Once measurement is done, the result is displayed on the screen.
X V1 : Velocity at Point 1
X V2 : Velocity at Point 2
X PGmax : Max Pressure Gradient
X V2-V1 : Change in Velocity
X Time : Change in Time
X Acc : Acceleration
X RI : Resistivity Index
X S/D : Systolic to Diastolic Ratio
The equations used for D Velocity measurement are as follows:
