New Technology – Demonstration of a Vector Velocity Technique

Abstract

With conventional Doppler ultrasound it is not possible to estimate direction and velocity of blood flow, when the angle of insonation exceeds 60–70°. Transverse oscillation is an angle independent vector velocity technique which is now implemented on a conventional ultrasound scanner. In this paper a few of the possibilities with transverse oscillation are demonstrated. Keywords: Transverse oscillation, vector velocity, blood flow, velocity estimation, Doppler
