In this paper, the arc tangent calculation applied to autocorrelation algorithm for color flow mapping was analyzed. In view of some shortcomings in the conventional methods and based on the Field-Programmable Gate Array(FPGA), a new way for arc tangent calculation was designed. Because the arc tangent reduced look-up table(LUT) bulk, the optimization algorithm greatly saved the hardware resources. This optimization method programmed with the VHDL language,was integrated by the synthesizer, then downed to the FPGA circuit system for real-time validation. Finally it was proven that the optimization algorithm only took up a few resources,and its operation speed could also meet the requirement of color Doppler flow calculation.
