Abstract

See full text

A method for generating color Doppler images is implemented in real time using digital processing steps implemented on multi-purpose microprocessors. Processing is reduced by estimating velocity only when a tissue threshold decision for a given sample indicates that the sample is not tissue. Arc tangent calculations in the velocity estimation are performed using simplified look-up tables without sacrificing accuracy. One look-up table is lineraly quantized. A second is nonlinearly quantized.
