Abstract

Various methods and systems are provided for ultrasound imaging. In one embodiment, a method comprises acquiring, via an ultrasound probe, Doppler measurements over a plurality of cardiac cycles, evaluating a flow profile comprising the Doppler measurements to detect an abnormality in the flow profile, and displaying, via a display device, the flow profile with a reference flow profile overlaid thereon. In this way, the attention of a physician evaluating results from an ultrasound imaging examination may be directed to abnormal flow that is potentially indicative of pathologies, thereby enabling earlier and more accurate diagnosis of pathologies.
