Abstract
Compared to conventional color Doppler ultrasound imaging, the new color Doppler modality "color Doppler energy" (CDE) has improved the possibility of visualizing blood vessels having low blood-flow velocities, but appears to be influenced by the settings of the ultrasound instrument and motion artefacts. The aim of this methodological study was to evaluate the effects of the different factors on the CDE signal. The CDE mode of a commercially available ultrasound system (Acuson 128 XP) was tested in an in vitro study. The effect of depth, angle of insonation, flow velocity, instrument power output, gain and other instrument settings were evaluated. The CDE signals obtained were stored on videotape and subsequently subjected to off-line... (More)

The aim of this methodological study was to evaluate the effects of the different factors on the CDE signal. The CDE mode of a commercially available ultrasound system (Acuson 128 XP) was tested in an in vitro study. The effect of depth, angle of insonation, flow velocity, instrument power output, gain and other instrument settings were evaluated. The CDE signals obtained were stored on videotape and subsequently subjected to off-line computer analysis. The CDE signal intensity was found to be influenced mainly by fluid flow velocity, but was also affected by depth and instrument settings. Gain and power had, however, limited influence in this setting. Thus, the intensity of the CDE signal is influenced by several factors. Our results emphasize the need for optimum fixed preinstalled instrument settings when attempting to quantify organ perfusion by use of this new technique. (Less)
