An investigation has been carried out on the velocity resolution, spatial resolution and accuracy of Doppler images as part of a study into the Doppler display of cardiac tissue motion. Test-phantoms were designed to perform this work and images were captured on a computer. The characteristics of the phantom images and of the image capture process were studied. The smallest detail that was observed in the Doppler image was 3 mm by 3 mm. Doppler receive gain and Doppler ensemble size both affected velocity resolution. Different target materials gave different measures for velocity resolution. This could be related to the different back-scatter intensities of the materials.
