Deep learning automates ultrasound Doppler angle estimation

Researchers have developed a deep learning approach to automatically estimate the angle in Doppler ultrasound, a critical step for accurate blood velocity measurements. The method, tested on human carotid ultrasound images, achieved a mean absolute error between 3.9° and 9.4°, with the best model performing within acceptable clinical error thresholds. This technique has the potential to be integrated into commercial ultrasound scanners, improving diagnostic accuracy. AI

    Automated ultrasound doppler angle estimation using deep learning

    arXiv:2508.04243v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Angle estimation is an important step in the Doppler ultrasound clinical workflow to measure blood velocity. It is widely recognized that incorrect angle estimation is a leading cause of error in Doppler-based blood veloci…
