High-frame rate vector flow imaging of the carotid bifurcation
Carotid artery atherosclerotic disease is still a significant cause of cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. A new angle-independent technique, measuring and visualizing blood flow velocities in all directions, called vector flow imaging (VFI) is becoming available from several vendors. VFI can provide more intuitive and quantitative imaging of vortex formation, which is not clearly distingu...
متن کاملPulsatile Blood Flow in Human Carotid Bifurcation
The purpose of this paper is to present a numerical simulation system for blood flow in the carotid artery bifurcation and its validation using experimental data collected in clinical practice. Blood flow is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and the simulation is carried out under pulsatile conditions using inlet velocities given by a flow wave form obtained by ultrasound ...
متن کاملPulsatile flow in a model carotid bifurcation.
Pulsatile flow in an in vitro model of the human carotid bifurcation was studied by flow visualization using hydrogen bubble techniques. A glass model was constructed after determining an average geometry from 57 biplanar angiograms of 22 subjects ranging from 34 to 77 years of age. The flow pulse used was a half-sine wave superimposed upon a mean flow. Maximum and minimum values of the instant...
متن کاملEffects of phase aberration on high frame rate imaging.
A high frame-rate (HFR) imaging method (about 3750 frames/s for imaging of biological soft tissues at a depth of 200 mm) has been developed recently with limited diffraction beams. This method uses the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to construct images, and can be implemented with simple and inexpensive hardware, compared to the conventional delay-and-sum...
متن کاملFlow studies in a model carotid bifurcation.
Boundary layer separation in a plexiglass model carotid bifurcation was investigated in relation to the origin of atherosclerotic plaque clinically found in this region. Our model was comparable to a human carotid in both dimensions and geometry. Water flowed through the model at Reynolds numbers from 200 to 1200 under steady and pulsatile flow conditions, with outflow through the external and ...
