ABSTRACT:
The Doppler imaging of blood flow or slowly moving tissue at high frame rates of display is performed by oversampled acquisition of a Doppler ensemble from the body and display of Doppler information within a display range of Doppler values which is less than the range defined by said rate of oversampling. Preferably, Doppler information is acquired at the highest PRF for the depth of Doppler imaging. In one embodiment Doppler data is scaled in proportion to the ratio of the acquisition PRF to the display PRF. Alternatively, an embodiment of the present invention performs Doppler estimation by autocorrelation or spectral analysis which operates upon nonadjacent samples in the Doppler ensemble.
