In this study, a comparison between velocity fields for a plane wave 2-D vector flow imaging (VFI) method and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is made. VFI estimates are obtained from the scan of a flow phantom, which mimics the complex flow conditions in the carotid artery. Furthermore, the precision of the VFI method is investigated under laminar and complex flow conditions in vivo...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy and precision of fast plane wave 2-D vector flow imaging (VFI) under laminar and complex flow conditions in a human subject. The method has previously been validated in simulations and straight-vessel phantoms, however, complex flow patterns remain challenging to study, since there are no other imaging techniques accurately enough to compare...
Directional beamforming (DB) estimates blood flow velocities accurately when the flow angle is known. However, for automatically finding the flow angle a computationally expensive approach is used. This work presents a method for estimating the flow angle using a combination of inexpensive transverse oscillation (TO) estimators and only 3 directional beamformed lines. The suggested DB vector flow...
We tested the hypothesis that erythropoietin (EPO) enhances bone formation after posterolateral spinal fusion (PLF) in a rabbit model. Thirty‐four adult rabbits underwent posterolateral intertransverse arthrodesis at the L5–L6 level using 2.0 g autograft per side. The animals were randomly divided into two groups receiving subcutaneous daily injections of either EPO or saline for 20 days. Treatment...
