[Development of Synchronous Arbitrary Gate-PW Doppler for Ultrasound Microvascular Imaging and Preliminary...

Ultra micro angiography (UMA) can effectively improve the sensitivity and spatial resolution of blood flow imaging. To further meet the clinical requirements of quantitative measurements for microvascular imaging, this article demonstrated technical features and performance verification results of the microflow quantitative analysis function, which was developed based on the UMA function. This article provided preliminary validation of the measurement of Synchronous Arbitrary Gate-PW (SAG-PW) using a Doppler flow phantom and a moving string phantom. The Doppler flow phantom results demonstrated that the SAG-PW measurement values were close to the traditional PW results, and the average error of multiple sets of measurement results under different conditions was 3.9%. The results of SAG-PW and PW were strongly linearly correlated, with the slope and correlation coefficient approaching 1. The results of the moving string phantom demonstrated that the relative errors of TAMean and SAG-PW with different phantom set values were within 10%.
