Abstract
Ultrasonic Doppler techniques for transcutaneously measuring blood flow can be divided in two types. With one type of instrument the blood vessel is uniformly insonated with either continuous or single-gated pulsed wave ultrasound, and velocity is determined from the mixture of Doppler frequencies arising. The cross-sectional area, by which mean velocity must be multiplicated to compute volume flow, is either calculated from the internal vessel diameter, as measured with the impulse echo technique [1,2] or by moving a single gate across the vessel for detecting the borders of the blood column from the Doppler signal [3,4].
