Example Pulsed-Wave Doppler Scan
In the 2D scan, the long line lets you adjust the ultrasound cursor position, the two parallel
lines (that look like
=
) let you adjust the sample volume (SV) size and depth, and the line
that crosses them lets you adjust the correction angle.

Continuous-Wave Doppler
Continuous-Wave Doppler scans display all velocities present over the entire length of the
ultrasound cursor. This is useful for imaging very high velocities such as those resulting
from a leaking heart valve.
As with
scans, the X-axis of the graph represents time, and the Y-
axis represents Doppler frequency shift.

Triplex
Triplex scan mode is available only with the AD version. Triplex scan mode combines
simultaneous or non-simultaneous Doppler imaging (Color Doppler, Directional Power
Doppler, or Power Doppler) with Pulsed-Wave Doppler imaging to view arterial or venous
velocity and flow data. Triplex allows you to perform range-gated assessment of flow.
