Three-dimensional color doppler for ultrasonic volume flow measurement

An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system measures volume flow. An ultrasound probe operating in biplane mode is used to acquire a blood vessel in a long axis view in a first Doppler image and simultaneously in a transverse view in a second Doppler image. Volume flow is calculated from the transverse view of the blood vessel. The plane of the second image is aligned with the Doppler angle of the first image so that angle correction determined for the first image can be used for angle correction in the volume flow calculation.
