Purpose:
To demonstrate shunt flow through small ventricular septal defects (VSDs) using HDlive Flow with spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) and HDlive Silhouette.
Methods:
Four cases of isolated small VSDs were evaluated using colour Doppler, and HDlive Flow with STIC and HDlive Silhouette.
Results:
HDlive Flow with STIC and HDlive Silhouette can improve the ability to depict shunt flow through small VSDs compared with colour Doppler.
Conclusion:
This technique provides information on spatial recognition of the shunt flow through isolated small VSDs in real time.
