| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Since the Doppler frequency of summed and different frequency observed by the ultrasonic crossed beams contrast echo method is calculated as a function of two angle components for the beams to the flow direction, a blood flow vector is estimated by solving the simultaneous equations of second harmonic and summed components without beam angle. This study discusses the feasibility of the proposed method by using experimental system incudes flow phantom. This experimental system is constructed as follows. The silicone tube of 4mm of inner diameter is located in the degassed water tank. The two ultrasonic beams of frequency of 3.2MHz and 2.0 MHz are crossed at the tube. Microbubbles (Sonazoid) are flowed in the tube with degassed water. Flow velocities are set as 10 mm/s, 20 mm/s and 30 mm/s. The summed frequency is 5.2MHz and second harmonic is 6.4 MHz. As a result, the flow velocities are estimated within the error ratio of 10%.
