Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system (1) for monitoring blood flow in a patient (5), the system (1) comprising: a single-element disc-shaped ultrasound transducer for fastening to the patient (5) and a controller subsystem (6). The controller subsystem (6) is configured to: control the ultrasound transducer to transmit a series of plane-wave pulses into the patient in a propagation direction; sample reflections of the plane-wave pulses, received at the ultrasound transducer, from a region (13) within the patient (5), to generate pulse-Doppler response signals; and process the pulse-Doppler response signals to calculate a blood flow curve for waveform analysis.
