FAQ

What is the Peak Systolic Velocity?
Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV) is an index measured in spectral Doppler ultrasound. The peak systolic velocity corresponds to each tall “peak” in the spectrum window. Peak Systolic Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Peak Systolic Velocity is always positive.
Can the Peak Systolic Velocity be negative?
No, the Peak Systolic Velocity, measured in Speed cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Peak Systolic Velocity?
Peak Systolic Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Peak Systolic Velocity can be measured.
