Abstract

This paper proposes a new pair of sequences whose cross-correlation values are zero except for the peak value and presents a new modulation method for an ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter with high sensitivity utilizing these sequences. In this method, transmitted and received waves are modulated and demodulated, respectively, by the specified new sequences. Since ulfavourable reflected waves can be almost completely eliminated by this proposed modulation method, a high signal-to-noise ratio is easily achieved. Elementary experimental results are also given.

Doppler-free/Doppler-sliced ion imaging.

We demonstrate a hybrid Doppler-free/Doppler-sliced ion imaging approach that is well-suited for detection of H or D atoms. The method relies on 2 + 1 resonant ionization with identical, nearly counterpropagating beams that are coplanar but directed at a small angle relative to the detector face. This results in Doppler selection of the velocity component along the time of flight axis but Doppler-free detection in the plane perpendicular to this axis. The results show high signal level and excellent slicing ( approximately 5%), yielding velocity resolution completely determined by cation recoil in the ionization step.

Detection and correction of aliasing in ultrasonic measurement of blood flows with Ultrasonic-Measurement-Integrated simulation.

Detailed information of real blood flows is essential to develop an accurate diagnosis or treatment for serious circulatory diseases such as aortic aneurysms. Ultrasonic-Measurement-Integrated (UMI) simulation, in which feedback signals from the ultrasonic measurement make the simulation converge to the real blood flow, is a key to solving this problem. However, aliasing in the ultrasonic blood velocity measurement causes UMI simulation to converge to an erroneous result. In this paper, we have investigated the detection and the correction of aliasing in UMI simulation. The artificial force in the feedback of UMI simulation can be used as an index to detect the aliasing. We have proposed two ways for the correction of the aliasing. Correction A, in which measurement velocity is replaced with the computational one at the monitoring point where the aliasing is detected, substantially improves the accuracy of UMI simulation. Correction B, in which measurement velocity is replaced with an estimated Doppler velocity, can provide exactly the same result as that of UMI simulation using the nonaliased standard solution. Although correction B gives the most accurate result, correction A seems more robust and, therefore, a beneficial choice considering the other artifacts in the measurement.
