Abstract:
1. A method for automatic optimization of Doppler imaging parameters including at least one of a pulse repetition frequency and a baseline, the method comprising: obtaining at least two characteristic spectral lines at a predetermined pulse repetition frequency, wherein the at least two characteristic spectral lines include a maximum power spectral line and a mean power spectral line; storing the at least two characteristic spectral lines; and optimizing at least one of the Doppler imaging parameters based on the stored at least two characteristic spectral lines and a predetermined mean noise power, wherein the at least two characteristic spectral lines are obtained by collecting, as Doppler spectral lines are generated, the Doppler spectral lines generated at the predetermined pulse repetition frequency within a predetermined time period, and processing the collected Doppler spectral lines without storing the collected Doppler spectral lines.
