Pulsed-Wave Doppler
Accurately Assess in vivo Blood Velocities
Measure Blood Flow Velocity to Understand Disease States
Pulsed wave (PW) Doppler uses the Doppler principle that moving objects change the characteristic of sound waves. By sending short and quick pulses of sound, it becomes possible to accurately measure the velocity of blood in a precise location and in real time.
PW Doppler of the Ascending Aorta in a Mouse
PW Doppler of the Carotid Artery in a Mouse
PW Doppler of the Mitral Valve in a Mouse
PW Doppler of the Pulmonary Artery in a Mouse
PW Doppler can measure velocities in multiple areas including:
- Diastolic function (E/A waves)
- Right ventricular function
- Renal artery resistive index and pulsatility index
- Abdominal aortic velocities
- Carotid artery imaging
