26、en 2 MHz and 10 MHz. As the response of Doppler systems depends on the signal level and on the spectral contents of the signal, it is desirable to test some aspects of a Doppler system with a test object that mimics the in vivo situation. A flow Doppler test object is particularly useful for testing

27、 the influence of the size and the depth of the blood vessel on the signal recorded by a Doppler system; testing the response of a Doppler system with a spectrum of blood velocities typical of the in vivo situation. This flow test object is not intended as a phantom mimicking clinical conditions. Th

28、e basis of this International Standard is given by IEC Technical Report 61206:1993 Ultrasonics Continuous Wave Doppler systems Test procedures. In annex A the position of this standard in relation to IEC 61206 and IEC 61895 is described. This standard only declares parameters that can be measured wi

29、th the test object. Measurement methods are given in IEC 61206 and IEC 61895. This International Standard deals only with the flow Doppler test object in a restricted sense, i.e. the section in which the ultrasonic measurements are performed. Where the whole of the set-up is meant, the phrase flow r

30、ig is used. The prescriptions of this International Standard define the ultrasonic properties and the flow pattern in the measurement section of the flow test object. For other aspects of the flow rig (i.e. generating and measuring flows) standard engineering practice has to be followed. The flow co

31、nditions are simplified as much as possible: a steady flow through a straight tube with a circular cross-section. Generalisation of the flow conditions to other geometries and time dependent flows is required in order to test some instrument functions. This generalisation is not undertaken in this I

32、nternational Standard. In annex D, an example flow Doppler test object is described which complies with the requirements of this International Standard. Compliance with this International Standard can also be fulfilled by measuring the properties of the materials to be used, and complying with the v

33、alues given in this International Standard. In literature 1, 2 the nomenclature about the primary measurand of Doppler systems is confused. Doppler frequency and velocity occur on equal footing. In velocity often a correction for Doppler angle has been included. To avoid this ambiguity, in this Inte

34、rnational Standard the term Doppler frequency is preferred. In case a Doppler system is declared to measure velocity, it is intended that measured values are converted to Doppler frequency, using acoustic working frequency and, if applicable, Doppler angle.
