[Glossary] PW mode measurement

The glossary of “Auto Measure”

• HR (bpm)：Heart rate
• PSV (cm/s)：Peak systolic velocity
• EDV (cm/s)：End diastolic velocity
• PI：Pulsatility index (of Gosling)
  • PI = (PSV–EDV)/MV
  • MV (cm/s)：Mean velocity
• RI：Resistance index (of Pourcelot)
  • RI = (PSV–EDV)/PSV
• VTI (cm)：Velocity-time integral
• TAV Max (cm/s)：The maximum of time-averaged velocity
• S/B：The average RI of a cycle
• S/D：Systolic/Diastolic Ratio
  • S/D = PSV/EDV
• ACCL (cm/s²)：The acceleration index
  • ACCL = (PSV – EDV)/ACCT
• ACCT (s)：The time from the lowest (EDV) to the highest (PSV)
• VFM (ml/min)：Volume flow per minute
• VFM Max (ml/min)：The maximum of volume flow per minute
