Body was changed:

Doppler shift or dopplerDoppler effect is named after austrian physicist Christian doppler. In ultrasonography, it is defined as the change in frequency of sound wave due to a reflector moving towards or away from an object, which in the probecase of ultrasound is the transducer.

Doppler equation 

F = 2fo ( v(v/c)cos(Q)

where:

  • F is doppler frequency shift
  • fo is transmitted frequency from ultrasound probe
  • v is the velocity of moving reflector
  • c is the velocity of sound in the medium
  • Q is the angle between ultrasound beam and axis of flow

Etmyology

Named after Austrian physicist, Christian Doppler.
