考虑频谱展宽校正的最大血流速度估计方法

在超声多普勒血流测量中，接收信号的频谱宽度与许多因素有关。除血流的流动特性引起的谱展宽外，测量系统的声学特性的非理想性也会引起附加的频谱展宽。因此，常规的多普勒血流速度估计方法将不可避免地导致最大流速的高估。本文提出了一种考虑固有频谱展宽效应的峰值血流速度估计的校正方法，介绍了该方法的基本原理及校正公式，并且给出了在体实验结果。

The Spectral Broadening Correction in Peak Blood Flow Velocity Estimation

Numerous effects contribute to the ultimate shape of output power spectrum in Doppler ultrasound blood flow measurement. The output Doppler spectrum is broadened by physiological sources related to blood flow velocity as well as some unexpected broaden components due to the non ideal acoustical factors of the ultrasound unit. Therefore, by using the classical Doppler equation, it will lead to overestimation of the maximum velocity in conventional Doppler blood flow measurement. In this paper, we present a modified Doppler equation which takes the intrinsic spectral broadening into account. The foundation of this method is introduced and the results of the in vivo experiment using this corrected equation are reported.
