Digital Pulsed Doppler or Acoustic Doppler current profiler

contact type• Pulsed wave (PW) Doppler systems use a transducer

that alternates transmission and reception of ultrasound.

• One main advantage of pulsed Doppler is its ability to provide Doppler shift data selectively from a small segment along the ultrasound beam, referred to as the “sample volume”.

• The location of the sample volume is operator controlled.
