Abstract:

Existing automated software for vascular ultrasound data extraction lacks free, open-source options suitable for professionals without coding experience. These programs typically include signal-cleaning algorithms, resulting in processed output without access to raw data. To address these needs, we developed TG Vascutrack, an open-source and user-friendly software tailored for non-coder professionals. It features a graphical interface, multiple functionalities, and provides access to raw data. Comparative analysis against validated software and manual extraction revealed minimal biases and standard deviations in diameter and velocity measurements. TG Vascutrack offers a free, promising solution for non-coders needing automated vascular ultrasound data extraction.

Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound

Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound

To obtain accurate blood pressure measurements in clinical settings, especially when traditional methods are insufficient, healthcare professionals utilize the Doppler ultrasound technique. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to detect blood flow within the arteries, which is crucial for patients with conditions that complicate circulatory system assessment.
