Doppler Equation<br />

Knowing the Doppler equation is critical:<br />

where:<br />

f Dop<br />

= Doppler shifted frequency (relative to transmit frequency)<br />

f 0<br />

v<br />

c<br />

= transmit frequency<br />

= velocity of target through medium<br />

= speed of interrogating beam through medium<br />

(c = 1540 m/sec for sound in tissue.)<br />

cos(θ) = mathematical correction for angle effect<br />

θ<br />

= insonification angle (or angle to flow)
