Comparative Study
Evaluation of differences between observers and automatic-manual measurements in calculation of Doppler parameters.
We aimed to search for differences between observers and automatic and manual measurements in calculations of Doppler parameters. ⋯ Although our study was performed on healthy subjects, our results showed that, in most cases, readers and the automatic approach disagreed on evaluation of Doppler parameters. This may be important in preventing false diagnoses in cases with Doppler values close to upper limits and may necessitate establishment of new limits for each method.
