Three-dimensional color Doppler for ultrasonic volume flow measurement

An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is used to measure volumetric flow. An ultrasound probe operating in a biplanar mode is used to acquire blood vessels in a long axis view in a first Doppler image and concurrently acquire blood vessels in a lateral view in a second Doppler image. The volumetric flow is calculated from a lateral view of the blood vessel. The plane of the second image is aligned with the Doppler angle of the first image such that the angle correction determined for the first image can be used for angle correction in volume flow calculation. 超声诊断成像系统用于测量体积流量。以双平面模式操作的超声探头用于在第一多普勒图像中在长轴视图中采集血管，并且在第二多普勒图像中在横向视图中同时采集血管。体积流量是根据血管的横向视图计算的。第二图像的平面与第一图像的多普勒角度对齐，使得针对第一图像确定的角度校正能够用于在体积流量计算中的角度校正。
