A pulse Doppler ultrasound system and associated methods are described for monitoring blood flow. A graphical information display includes simultaneously displayed depth-mode and spectrogram displays. The depth-mode display indicates the various positions along the ultrasound beam axis at which blood flow is detected. These positions are indicated as one or more colored regions, with the color indicating direction of blood flow and varying in intensity as a function of detected Doppler ultrasound signal amplitude or detected blood flow velocity. The depth-mode display also includes a pointer whose position may be selected by a user. The spectrogram displayed corresponds to the location identified by the pointer. Embolus detection and characterization are also provided.

Cette invention a trait à un système ultrasonore Doppler pulsé et aux méthodes associées permettant de surveiller le débit sanguin. Sur un affichage graphique sont présentés simultanément les données d'un mode profondeur et un spectrogramme. L'affichage du mode profondeur indique les différents emplacements, le long de l'axe du faisceau ultrasonore, où est détecté le débit sanguin. Ces emplacements sont signalés par une ou plusieurs zones colorées, la couleur indiquant le sens du débit et variant en intensité en fonction de l'amplitude du signal ultrasonore Doppler détecté ou bien de la vitesse détectée du débit. Cet affichage du mode profondeur comprend également un pointeur dont la position peut être choisie par un utilisateur. Le spectrogramme correspond à l'emplacement identifié par le pointeur. Cette invention porte également sur la détection et la caractérisation d'un embole.
