Abstract
An ultrasound scanning system ( ) includes a plurality of range gates ( ) responsive to ultrasound waves for generating a plurality of Doppler signal samples representing different depth increments within a subject (S) being studied. A logic unit ( ) generates Doppler frequency signals and generates B-mode data. A display ( ) generates a B-mode image and a Doppler image which may be superimposed on the B-mode image. The Doppler image (DI) is arranged to illustrate depth increments within the subject being studied versus Doppler velocity or frequency.
