To measure volume blood flow quantitatively in human abdominal arter- ies, we used an ultrasonic image-directed Doppler system and electromagnetic flowmeter to first measure volume flow in canine arteries. In dogs, there was a strong linear correlation (R = 0.98) between the product of the time ave

β¦ Synopsis
Image-directed Doppler measurement of superior mesenteric artery blood flow in volunteers was validated in two artificial models with either a venous or an arterial flow profile. In the "venous" model, the Doppler device overestimated the real flow velocity by 86 * 7%, and in the "arterial" model by 24 -+ 9%. The areas under the time-frequency curves (AUCs) from the arterial model were measured by planimetry. A correction factor of 1.47 between flow velocities calculated after planimetry and real flow was established. Correction for this factor resulted in a flow velocity of 19.5 t 4.7 cm/s and a blood flow rate of 377 -+ 166 ml/min in the volunteers.

Accuracy of two systems-conventional (DRF 400, Diasonics) and colorcoded (Angiodynograph, QuantudPhillips) image-directed Doppler ultrasonography-was investigated using an in vitro model that generated both monophasic and triphasic pulsatile flow patterns. Estimated and actual blood volume flow rate
Purpose. We studied whether umbilical artery catheters (UACs) affect blood flow in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) of neonates. Methods. Noninvasive duplex pulsed Doppler sonography was used to measure peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity, and mean flow velocity in the SMA. The resis
A novel noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method was developed to determine in vivo blood oxygen saturation and its changes during motor cortex activation in small cerebral veins. Specifically, based on susceptibility measurements in the resting states, pial veins were found to have a mea
## Abstract The accuracy of magnetic resonance phase contrast volume flow measurements in small blood vessels is expected to be smaller than in large vessels, because of partial volume effects at the vessel boundary. Accuracy was validated in the dog femoral artery, diameter 3.5 Β± 0.7 mm, using an
Steady-state arterial spin tagging approaches can provide quantitative images of CBF, but have not been validated in humans. The work presented here compared CBF values measured using steady-state arterial spin tagging with CBF values measured in the same group of human subjects using the H(2)(15)O
