Abstract
A system includes a processing circuit configured to receive signals corresponding ultrasound data, extract a blood flow waveform from the signals, the blood flow waveform corresponds to a single pulse of the signals, determine a curvature characteristic of the blood flow waveform based on a plurality of local curvature parameters, and identify a medical condition for the blood flow waveform using the blood flow waveform. Each of the plurality of local curvature parameters indicates a degree to which the blood flow waveform deviates from a straight line at a location on the blood flow waveform.
