Fig 15-1 depicts a Doppler spectrum with two cycles. A cycle starts at the start
systole (when the heart starts to contract) and ends at the end diastole (when the heart
is resting and filled with blood). The correct placement of vascular calculation
markers is indicated in the figure.

Figure 15-1. Doppler spectrum. Abbreviations explained below.

Frequency or

velocity

The calculations and the way in which they are presented on the screen depend on
whether the Doppler angle is active or not.

WARNING Drawings of Doppler curves, manual and automatic, are meant as tools for
positioning cursors so that measurements based on the curves can be calculated
automatically. The General Pro Package contains no facilities for checking whether the
automatic measurements are reasonable. Curves drawn on very noisy spectra may
lead to misplacement of measurement cursors. Make sure that measurement cursors
are positioned so that the results are reasonable. If they are not, you must adjust the
position of the cursors manually.
