Figure 11-1. The Doppler indicator (line and gate) superimposed on a B-mode image.

The dotted line represents the Doppler line. The lines at right angles to that show the 
Doppler gate.

Fig 11-2 shows information available in Doppler indicators.

Figure 11-2. Doppler indicators (three examples).

A diagonal line (relative to the Doppler line) indicates a sample volume with angle 
correction (see “Angle Correction” on page 156). The thick lines are areas in which 
no Doppler information is available and the horizontal dotted lines show the false 
sample volume in HPRF (see page 157).
