Dopplerography method of registration and quantitative assessment of the helical blood flow in human arteries

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a method of registration and quantitative assessment of the helical blood flow in human arteries by using the ultrasound Doppler technology. Material and methods: The 142 young healthy volunteers (95 males) at the age of 20.5 ± 2.3 were examined by pulsed Doppler and Color Doppler Imaging (CDI) mode. The blood flow in carotid and femoral arteries was investigated by ultrasound systems SonoAce 8000EX (Medison, Korea), Vivid 3 and Vivid 7 (GE, USA) using linear transducers at a frequency of 5 – 12 MHz and 4 – 10 MHz. Results: We registered the blood flow rotating c…
