Abstract
A Doppler ultrasound instrument () includes ultrasound pulse control and data acquisition electronics () for acquiring Doppler ultrasound data, an N-channel connector port () for simultaneously operatively connecting up to N ultrasound transducer patches () where N is an integer equal to or greater than two, and an electronic processor () programmed to concurrently determine up to N blood flow velocities corresponding to up to N patches operatively connected to the N channel connector port. The blood flow velocity for each patch may be determined by: determining transducer blood flow velocities for ultrasound transducers () of a transducer array of the patch; and determining the blood flow velocity for the patch as a highest determined transducer blood flow velocity or as an aggregation of highest determined transducer blood flow velocities.
