Same as Dwell Time or Packet Size.
•
The dwell time (also called ensemble length or packet size) is the transmitting duration of ultrasonic waves focused at one place or the Doppler samples for each line of sight. The reduction of the dwell time is of use if threshold pressures are exceeded. The sensitivity to slow flow and accuracy of Doppler measurement increase with longer dwell times. With increased dwell times, the frame rates decrease and the capability of Color Doppler images to depict fast changes in hemodynamics is limited. •
The packet size is the number of sound bursts transmitted per color sector line. The accuracy of the estimated Doppler velocity is influenced by the packet size. A large packet size increases the accuracy of the mean flow velocity by decreasing the frame rate, the line density, or the sector angle. Dwell time, ensemble length or packet size are synonymous.
