WG 10 - TC 87/WG 10

Specifies parameters for a flow Doppler test object representing a blood vessel of known diameter at a certain depth in human tissue, carrying a steady flow. Establishes a flow Doppler test object which can be used to assess various aspects of the performance of Doppler diagnostic equipment.

This technical specification describes: - test methods for measuring the performance of pulsed Doppler ultrasound systems; - Doppler test objects for carrying out these tests; and applies to - tests made on an overall pulsed Doppler ultrasound system, a system which is not disassembled or disconnected; - tests made on pulsed Doppler ultrasound systems whether they are stand-alone or as part of another ultrasound equipment.
