Estimating Blood Flow Velocity in Liver Vessels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Orthogonal polarization spectroscopy (OPS) is a technique for taking images to finally characterise microcirculation. Current image analysis algorithms have limitations when applied to image sequences obtained from the liver. We developed an automatic analysis tool which enables detection of liver vessels, measurement of vessel diameters, and determination of blood flow velocities with sparse user interactions. For validation purpose, data was analysed with our proposed algorithm and compared with manual results by experienced users. Related to commercial products, the needed time for analysis is reduced from more than 30 minutes to less than 2 minutes with comparable results for accuracy.

A Mathematical Model for Blood Flow Through Narrow Vessels with Mild-Stenosis (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper we examine the effect of mild stenosis on blood flow, in an irregular axisymmetric artery with oscillating pressure gradient. The Herschel-Bulkley fluid model has been utilized for this study. The combined influence of an asymmetric shape and surface irregularities of constriction has been explored in this computational study. An extensive quantitative analysis has been performed ...

In this paper consider a two-fluid model consisting of a core region of suspension of all the erythrocytes (particles) in plasma (fluid) assumed to be a particle-fluid mixture and a peripheral layer of cell-free plasma (Newtonian fluid), has been proposed to represent blood flow in small diameter tubes with effects of magnetic. The analytical results obtained in the proposed model for effective...
متن کاملMeasuring the Nitroglycerine-Induced Vasodilation in Carotid Arteries
Introduction: Nitroglycerin is a fast-acting drug that rapidly dilates coronary arteries and thus increases blood flow to these vessels, and increases the blood flow through the lateral vessels to low blood areas. It also reduces both end diastolic pressure and volume of the left ventricular. However, the effect of nitroglycerin on the circulation hemodynamic is not known. Caro...
متن کاملVibration Analysis of Carotid Arteries Conveying Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Surrounding by Tissues
The high blood rate that often occurs in arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks and other diseases. However, vibration and instability analysis of carotid arteries are lacking. The objective of this study is to investigate the vibration and instability of the carotid arteries conveying blood under axial tension with surrou...
متن کاملPressure-radius relationship in large blood vessels of man.
• The measurement of instantaneous blood flow in the great vessels in man is of importance in the study of circulatory dynamics. With the pressure-gradient technique, it is possible to estimate instantaneous blood velocity in man. However, in order to compute instantaneous blood flow from blood velocity, the radius of the vessel under study must be known at every instant in the cardiac cycle. T...
