You can also adjust the position and angle of spectral Doppler line, the size of sample volume gate, and the
direction of the ow cursor.
7. Press the

6.5.2 CW Mode
Continuous Wave Doppler (CW) uses continuously transmitted and received ultrasound energy to generate a
spectral display. CW Doppler is used to measure a high velocity, the highest velocity at a specific site, but no
aliasing is created.
Perform the following steps to acquire CW-mode images.
1. Optimize a B-mode image.
2. Press the
CW
key on the control panel to enter the inactivated B+CW mode 1.

−
The spectral Doppler line and the sample volume gate are used to locate the qualitative analysis on the
image.
−
The ow cursor needs to be adjusted parallel to the ow when measuring the velocity.
3. Adjust the position and angle of the spectral Doppler line.
−
Position the sample volume gate on the spectral Doppler line by moving the trackball upwards or
downwards.
