| Abstract: | Doppler ultrasound techniques are used extensively in clinical investigations to detect blood flow and measure its velocity. The application of these techniques in the teaching of cardiovascular physiology is of enormous potential educational value. A number of cardiovascular parameters that are difficult or even impossible to illustrate by conventional non-invasive methods can be demonstrated effectively, safely, and easily using Doppler ultrasound. The principle of the technique is explained followed by examples of its potential use. |
