Measurement 
Tools 
Description 
Color Pixel 
Percentage 
Measures the pixel proportion of blood flow signal in the region of interest 
8.2.2  M General Measurements 
M general measurements refer to general measurements on M-mode, AM-mode images. The 
measurements listed below can be performed: 
Measurement 
Tools 
Description   
Distance  Measures the distance of the sampling line between two random points. 
The time interval between any two points on M mode image. 
Slope  Measures the distance and time between two points and calculates the slope. 
HR 
Measures the time of n (n≤8) cardiac cycles and calculates the heart rate on M 
mode image. 
Velocity 
Measures the distance and time between two points on the M Mode image 
and then calculates the average velocity between the two points. 
8.2.3  Doppler General Measurements 
Doppler general measurements refer to general measurements on PW/CW-mode images. 
Measurement 
Tools 
Description 
Time  The time interval between any two points. 
HR 
Measure N interval (n≤8) of the cardiac cycle on Doppler image and calculates 
the heart rate. 
Velocity 
On the Doppler mode image, measure velocity, PG (pressure gradient) and 
spectrum correction angle of a point on the Doppler spectrum waveform θ. 
Acceleration 
Measure the velocities of two points and their time interval on the Doppler 
image, and calculates the acceleration, pressure gradient, velocity difference 
and correction angle θ. 
D Trace 
On the PW mode image, one or several Doppler waveforms are traced to 
obtain speed and PG, etc. 
PS/ED 
Measure the velocities of Systolic Peak (PS) and Diastolic End (ED) on the 
Doppler image. 
Measure blood flow through some vascular cross section per unit time. 
Velocity Ratio 
Measure two D velocity values on one or two spectrum and calculate the ratio 
to analyze the flow information. 
VTI Ratio  Measure two TVIs and the calculated ratio of the spectrum.
