摘要
A relatively simple, flexible, and economical digital system is reported for processing biological signals which contain frequencies in the audio range. The microprocessor-based Doppler system was successfully tested on scattered ultrasonic signals from blood and urine to provide diagnostic information in real time. Measurements were obtained for average velocity, standard deviation of velocity (indicative of laminar and turbulent flow), relative flow rate, and relative cross-sectional area as functions of time. Comparison of these measures at various locations along a vessel and at various times in the life of a patient is discussed.
