Colour velocity flow measurement: in vitro validation and application to human carotid arteries

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology
C R Deane, H S Markus

Abstract

Ultrasound measurement of volume blood flow is potentially useful for many clinical situations, yet practical implementation and use are restricted by the many instrumentation and blood flow limitations that can arise. Colour velocity imaging offers a number of theoretical advantages over methods based on duplex imaging. We evaluated a colour velocity flow measurement system (CVI-Q, Philips) both in a flow phantom and in vivo in the extracranial carotid arteries of normal volunteers. Over a range of constant (50-1200 ml/min) and pulsatile (92-366 ml/min) flows and using both steered and unsteered beams with beam angles of 30 degrees and 40 degrees, errors usually within 5% were obtained for constant flow and within 10% for pulsatile flow. However, with a beam angle of 70 degrees, higher errors of 20% were obtained for pulsatile flow. The reproducibility of flow measurements made using both anterior and posterior-lateral scanning approaches was determined in the common (CCA), internal (ICA) and external carotid (ECA) arteries of 18 volunteers. A greater reproducibility was found using the posterior-lateral approach (CCA 6.27%; ICA 9.8%), and mean (SD) flow values were 376 ml/min in the CCA and 255 ml/min in the ICA. The ratio of...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
