Abstract
A novel approach was proposed to denoise quadrature Doppler signals from bi-directional blood flow using the wavelet frame and a soft-thresholding algorithm. A direction separation step was carried out first to avoid the phase distortion of quadrature Doppler signals, which is induced from the nonlinear, soft-thresholding processing. Then real parts of separated complex signals from the unidirectional flow were denoised independently. The quadrature Doppler signals from the bi-directional flow were reconstructed from the denoised separated signals. The approach has been applied to the simulated Doppler signals from a femoral artery. It is concluded from the experimental results that this method is practical for denoising quadrature Doppler signals.
