Defining Normative Values for 3D LV Volumes

ethnicity: a missing variable when defining normative values for reporting echocardiographic studies

Reference Ranges for LVEF and LV Volumes

Electrocardiographic gating is increasingly used for 82Rb cardiac PET/CT, but reference ranges for global functional parameters are not well defined. We sought to establish reference values for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end systolic volume (ESV), and end diastolic volume (EDV) using 4 different commercial software packages. Additionally, we compared 2 different approaches for t...

Defining Normative Systems for Qualitative Argumentation

Inspired by two diierent approaches to providing a qualitative method for reasoning under uncertainty|qualitative probabilistic networks and systems of argumentation|this paper attempts to combine the advantages of both by deening systems of argumentation that have a probabilistic semantics.

3D parallel flow solver for LV hemodynamics

Computer visualization of hemodynamics in Left Ventricle (LV) is of great significance in treating patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Numerical simulations that enable such graphical visualization are computationally very intensive. So in the current study we propose to discuss details of the parallel computation of LV flow dynamics on distributed memory based vector parallel processing syst...

Normative Reference Values for Healthy Argentinian Children

A comprehensive assessment of central auditory processing disorders includes parent questionnaires. The Scale of Audi tory Behaviors (SAB) was developed to evaluate the limitations and difficulties perceived by guardians of children in everyday activities.The aim of the study was to provide normative data for the SAB for Argentinian healthy children. The parents and guardians of eighty-four chi...
