Spectral Doppler Mode
Pulsed Wave Doppler (PW) and Continuous Wave Doppler (CW) are collectively
called Spectral Doppler mode
1
.
PW Doppler lets you examine blood flow data selectively from a small region called
the sample volume. The sample volume is covered by the sample volume gate
which is located on the Spectral Doppler cursor. A short line across the sample
volume is called the flow direction cursor. Refer to Figure 10.1 for an illustration of
PW-duplex mode.
CW Doppler examines the flow data all along the Doppler cursor rather than a
small region.

The availability of the PW/CW-duplex and -triplex modes depends on both the probe models and
the application modes.
