Description

The Doppler index of blood flow has very wide and important requirements and values in clinic, and is an important index of a plurality of diseases and physiological characteristics. The ultrasonic Doppler and technology refers to a method for detecting the blood flow of moving organs and blood vessels by utilizing the Doppler effect principle, and is also the most main means for clinically obtaining the blood flow Doppler at present, and the method is divided into continuous Doppler and pulse Doppler according to the working state.
For continuous doppler, which uses two ultrasound transducers, one of which continuously transmits ultrasound and the other of which continuously receives echoes, the method has a very high velocity resolution, and can detect very high velocity blood flow, which is a major advantage thereof, and the most significant disadvantage thereof is the lack of distance resolution.
Pulsed Doppler is the transmission and reception of ultrasound waves by the same ultrasound transducer. Because the depth gating (or distance gating) technology is adopted, the fixed point blood flow measurement can be carried out, so that the method has high distance resolution and can also accurately analyze the property of the fixed point blood flow. Since the maximum display frequency of pulse wave doppler is limited by the pulse repetition frequency, aliasing is likely to occur when detecting high-speed blood flow.
At present, the clinically used ultrasonic Doppler system mainly uses a B-ultrasonic trolley, and although the clinical diagnosis can meet the requirements of clinic, the ultrasonic Doppler system has various limitations in real-time monitoring, home detection and the like, and cannot meet the use requirements of long time span or frequent blood flow monitoring, so that how to miniaturize the ultrasonic Doppler detection equipment and even wear the ultrasonic Doppler detection equipment to meet the requirements of daily monitoring becomes a hot spot of current research.

In summary, the ultrasonic Doppler blood flow detection device has the following defects: 1. the equipment has large volume and high price; 2. needs operation by clinical professional medical staff and cannot be used for household; 3. the wearing is impossible, and the long-time monitoring is performed; 4. pulse Doppler and continuous Doppler detection cannot be performed simultaneously; 5. there is no blood pressure information.
