This type of medical ultrasonic eq

27、uipment measures the Doppler-shift frequency which is the change in frequency of an ultrasound scattered wave caused by relative motion between a scatterer and the ultrasonic transducer. This frequency is proportional to the observed velocity, which is the component of the velocity of a scatterer th

28、at is directed towards or away from the transducer. This technical report describes a range of test methods that may be applied to determine various performance parameters for continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound systems. They may also be applied to pulsed Doppler systems although additional tests wou

29、ld also be required. The test methods are based on the use of a number of specialised devices such as string, band, disk, piston and flow Doppler test objects. These test methods may be considered as falling into one of the following three categories. The first is routine quality control tests that

30、can be carried out by a clinician or a technologist to ensure that the system is working adequately or has adequate sensitivity. The second is more elaborate test methods, conducted less frequently, such as when the system is suspected of not working properly. The third represents tests that would b

31、e done by a manufacturer on complete systems, as the basis of type specification of performance. Section 1. General 1.1 Scope This technical report describes: test methods for measuring the performance of continuous-wave ultrasonic Doppler flowmeters, velocimeters, or foetal heart detectors; special

32、 Doppler test objects for determining various performance properties of Doppler ultrasound systems. This technical report applies to: tests made on an overall Doppler ultrasound system; a system which is not disassembled or disconnected; tests made on continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound systems. The

33、same tests can be applied to Doppler ultrasound systems which measure position as well as velocity, such as pulsed and frequency-modulated Doppler systems, although additional tests may then be required. Electrical safety and acoustic output are not covered in this technical report 1.2 Normative ref

Overall tests of co

45、mplete systems 2.1 General considerations 2.1.1 Types of Doppler ultrasound systems A major factor that affects performance testing of a Doppler ultrasound system (system) is whether it can be described as directional, non-directional, or as direction resolving. Directional or direction sensing refe

46、rs to a type of system which indicates whether scatterers are approaching or receding from the ultrasonic transducer. Non-directional systems do not indicate direction of scatterer motion. Direction resolving, or direction separating systems provide for Doppler output to appear at different output c

47、hannels depending upon the direction of scatterer motion. Annex A gives descriptions and examples of these different types of systems. 2.1.2 Worst case conditions A test method may be applied to determine a particular performance parameter of a system. Often a number of quantities can have a bearing

48、 on overall performance, each one of which requires the application of a distinct test method. Some of these quantities need to be maximised and others need to be minimised in order to obtain the best overall performance. Considering overall performance, Table 1 gives the worst case conditions for k

49、ey quantities appropriate to peripheral vascular systems and the corresponding clause number which describes a suitable test method. Table 1 may need modification to be appropriate for other uses. As an example, if the noise as measured in2.2.4 is maximised this will lead to worst case overall performance; conversely, minimising noise will lead to maximised performance. The situation for spatial response (see clause2.4), is discussed in the rationale (see Annex B). c is the average speed of sound in a medium. I is the average speed of the fl
