Systems and methods for detecting flow of biological fluids

A computer-implemented method for facilitating an evaluation of a biological conduit through which a biological fluid is flowing, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating using an ultrasound machine spectral Doppler sonogram data for the biological conduit;
• performing by a processing element a machine learning process including—
• generating a plurality of decision trees,
• evaluating the spectral Doppler sonogram data using the plurality of decision trees, and
• generating a pathology prediction value;
• and
• displaying on an electronic display a pathology prediction based on the pathology prediction value.

A computer-implemented method for improving the function of a computer for facilitating a diagnosis of a pathology of a non-carotid vasculature of a subject, the computer including a processor, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating using an ultrasound machine and receiving by the processor spectral Doppler sonogram data for the non-carotid vasculature of the subject;
• extracting by the processor a set of waveform parameters from the spectral Doppler sonogram data;
• determining by the processor using a machine learning component a pathology prediction value from the set of waveform parameters;
• determining by the processor using the machine learning component a determined likelihood of the pathology based on the pathology prediction value;
• and
• displaying on an electronic display the determined likelihood of the pathology for consideration by a healthcare practitioner in the diagnosis of the pathology of the non-carotid vasculature of the subject.
