Description: |
Doppler ultrasound has become a standard method used to diagnose and grade vascular diseases and monitor their progression. Conventional focused-beam color Doppler imaging is routinely used in clinical practice, but suffers from inherent trade-offs between spatial, temporal and velocity resolution. Newer, plane-wave Doppler imaging offers rapid simultaneous acquisition of B-mode, color and spectral Doppler information across large fields of view, making it a potentially useful method for quantitative estimation of blood flow velocities in the clinic. However, plane-wave imaging can lead to a substantial error in velocity estimation, which is dependent on the lateral location within the image. This is seen in both clinical and experimental plane-wave systems. In the work described in this article, we quantified this velocity error under different geometric and beamforming conditions using numerical simulation and experimental phantoms. We found that the lateral-dependent velocity errors are caused by asymmetrical geometric spectral broadening, and outline a correction algorithm that can mitigate these errors. |
