A simulation approach was proposed to analyze the spectra of Doppler signals in local expansion artery, which can provide a useful guidance for detecting the formation and growth progress of the aneurysms using the Doppler ultrasound technology and forecasting the size of aneurysm. Firstly, by solving Navier-Stokes equations, the velocity distributions in the vessels with various expansion degrees are calculated. Secondly, power spectral density (PSD) of the Doppler signals is estimated according to the relationship of velocity profiles and power spectral density. Finally, Doppler signals are generated using cosine-superposed methods. The results show that the spectra of Doppler signals are similar to those found in practice. Therefore, the proposed approach is useful for simulating the spectra of Doppler ultrasound signals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
