The use of color Doppler flow mapping systems for quantitative in vitro studies of flow fields is examined and illustrated. A 5-MHz color Doppler system was used, and the resolution was determined by comparing the results of flow-field measurement for steady parabolic pipe flow with calculated values. The velocity accuracy was about 6% of the velocity corresponding to half the pulse repetition frequency, and the spatial resolution was better than 1 mm. Frame frequency limitations permitted only partial tracking of fast temporal changes in the flow field. However, detection of vortices downstream from a small cylinder placed in the flow tube was significantly enhanced by synchronizing the frame frequency with the vortex shedding frequency and using a velocity-variance mode. Color Doppler aliasing was found to be useful to define streamlines and determine whether the flow was laminar or turbulent. The color Doppler system clearly imaged Poiseuille, transitional and turbulent flow and vortex shedding in vitro. It is concluded that color Doppler ultrasound flow mapping can enable large, complex flow fields to be quantitatively studied in vitro. |
