1. What is Doppler ultrasound?
Doppler ultrasound is a method that uses the Doppler effect to produce moving images of tissues, body fluids, and their relative velocities to the transmitter. In fact, Doppler ultrasound is divided into two types as follows:Continuous Doppler: This ultrasound method is an ultrasound that consists of two crystals in one transducer with two functions of emitting sound waves and receiving sound waves. From there, it is possible to check at fast speeds but not the position of the return point. Pulsed Doppler ultrasound: At the transducer part of the pulse Doppler ultrasound machine, there is a connection of longitudinal pulse chains to emit sound waves in the scanning direction of the transducer. Pulsed Doppler has the ability to adjust the size of the areas to be tested, but it cannot capture the entire sound wave, but only collects the sound wave at the test site.
