A Study on the Development of CW(Continuous-Wave)Doppler System for measuring Bi-directional Blood Flow Information

혈류 방향을 구별하는 연속 초음파 도플러 장치에 관한 연구

With the conventional CW Doppler velocity meter, bl-directional velocities cannot be separated. The new CW Doppler system uses quadrature detection and phase rotation to produce simultaneous independent audio and velocity signals for forward and reverse blood flow direction, is fabricated. Specially, this system shows that phase rotation method for flow direction separation provides easy and satisfactory feature. From in vivo blood flow measurement, we can easily differentiate typical artery flow from vein flow, and measure both velocity characteristics qualitatively.
