This study presents a novel method using Doppler color flow imaging to accurately measure blood flow volume rate and velocity in the ascending aorta. The technique was validated in flow models and animal experiments, demonstrating its precision for assessing cardiac function.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Imaging
  • Hemodynamics
  • Medical Ultrasound

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of blood flow in the ascending aorta is crucial for diagnosing and managing cardiovascular diseases.
  • Current methods may have limitations in providing comprehensive, real-time flow quantification.
  • Doppler color flow imaging offers potential for non-invasive hemodynamic assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a method for quantifying two-dimensional blood flow velocity and volume rate in the ascending aorta using Doppler color flow imaging.
  • To assess the accuracy of the developed method by comparing its results with established measurement techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A novel technique was developed to derive blood flow velocity and volume rate from cross-sectional Doppler color flow images.

  • Regional blood flow velocities were calculated by converting color intensities, incorporating corrections for the spatial ultrasound beam incident angle.
  • The spatial ultrasound beam incident angle was estimated using geometric features of the color flow image contour.

    • Main Results:

    • The method was validated against an electromagnetic flowmeter in a steady flow model, showing accurate flow volume rate calculations.
    • In an open-chest dog experiment, the method accurately calculated ejection flow volume rate and regurgitant volume in the ascending aorta.
    • Measurements were validated by comparison with simultaneous electromagnetic flowmeter data before and after induced aortic regurgitation.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method provides accurate measurements of ejection flow volume rate in the ascending aorta.
    • The technique is also effective for precise quantification of regurgitant volume.
    • This Doppler-based approach offers a valuable tool for hemodynamic assessment in cardiovascular research and clinical practice.
