SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROBUST FLOW MEASUREMENTS IN VESSELS

摘要

The invention provides a system and a method for calculating flow parameter based on a plurality of ultrasound reflections received from a plurality of distances along the vessel. A first flow parameter (41) at a first location and a second flow parameter (42) at a second location is calculated respectively from a first ultrasound signal associated to ultrasound reflection at the first location (z₁) and from the second ultrasound signal associated to ultrasound reflection at the second location (z₂). A composite flow parameter (50) is computed based on the first flow parameter and the second flow parameter, which is then output to a user interface (6).
