Chapter 5 Measurements and Calculations
D Velocity
This is a basic measurement that is only available in Spectral Doppler Mode. You can specify two points
in a Spectral Doppler image and measure the distance between them and the velocity at each point to
calculate the change in speed, change in time, and acceleration.
NOTE: In a Spectral Doppler image, the X- and Y-axes represent time and velocity, respectively.
1. Press Caliper and select D Velocity under soft menu [1]. ‘D Velocity’ is shown in the user information
area.
2. You can specify two points and measure the straight distance between them. The measurement
method is identical to ‘Distance’.
3. When the measurement is nished, its result is shown on the screen.
X
V1: Velocity at point 1.
X
V2: Velocity at point 2.
X
PGmax: Max Pressure Gradient
X
V2-V1: Change in speed.
X
Time: Change in time.
X
Acc: Acceleration.
X
RI: Resistivity Index
X
S/D: Systolic to Diastolic Ratio
The equations used for D Velocity measurement are as follows:

NOTE: If Application under Utility > Measure Setup > General > Caliper is set to Cardiac,
results for Vmax, PGmax, V2-V1, Time, Acc, etc. are shown on the screen.
