TI  - Doppler backscatter properties of a blood-mimicking fluid for Doppler performance 
      assessment.
PG  - 105-10
AB  - The Doppler backscatter properties of a blood-mimickig fluid (BMF) were studied 
      to evaluate its suitability for use in a Doppler flow test object. Measurements 
      were performed using a flow rig with C-flex tubing and BMF flow produced by a 
      roller pump or a gear pump. A SciMed Doppler system was used to measure the 
      backscattered Doppler power with a root-mean-square power meter connected to the 
      audio output. Studies investigated the dependence of the backscattered Doppler 
      power of the BMF with: circulation time; batch and operator preparations; 
      storage; sieve size; flow speed; and pump type. A comparison was made with human 
      red blood cells resuspended in saline. The backscatter properties are stable and 
      within International Electrotechnical Commission requirements. The BMF is 
      suitable for use in a test object for Doppler performance assessment.
