Abstract
Ultrasonic pulsed-Doppler signals from deep-lying vessels in the normal abdomen and pelvis are described. The signal characteristics combine to produce a Doppler "signature" that is specific for each vessel. The clinical potential of this method of deep flow detection is considered in relation to three areas of Doppler signal analysis: first, qualitative indication of the presence, direction, or absence of flow in a structure; second, more quantitative description of time velocity waveforms and Doppler spectral content; and third, the estimation of absolute volume flow. Limitations of these methods for the abdominal signals obtained are discussed.
