Doppler Trace
This is a basic measurement that is available in Spectral Doppler Mode only. You can specify a point in a
Spectral Doppler image and trace a curve from that point to calculate the velocity, integral value and aver-
age velocity of blood ow.
1. Use the Softmenu switch [1] Distance to select Doppler Trace. “Doppler Trace” is displayed on the
left side of the screen.
2. Trace a curve. The method for measuring a curve is the same as in “2D Distance (Trace).”
3. When the measurement is nished, its result is shown on the screen.
