Abstract: A method for producing Doppler ultrasound data at a user-requested pulse repetition frequency (PRF) utilizing undersampled echo signals. Echo signals are created in response to Doppler pulses that are transmitted into the patient at a rate less than a desired PRF. The echo signals are analyzed in the time domain to determine a velocity of scatterers in an area of tissue defined by a range gate. From the velocity, the Doppler shift of the scatterers is determined. The echo signals are interpolated to produce a number of samples equal in number to that which would have been produced had the Doppler pulses been transmitted at the user-requested PRF. The interpolated echo signals are then analyzed in the frequency domain which produces a number of spectra indicative of the velocity and direction of the moving scatterers. From the Doppler shift determined, the correct spectra is selected and displayed for a user.
