✦ Synopsis

Time domain ultrasonography is an alternative to Doppler analysis of blood flow direction and velocity. The time domain technique uses timing information between successive echo pulses to measure flow velocities directly through a color display map. This study was undertaken to validate this technique for measuring peak systolic velocity compared to the pulsed-wave Doppler method in human fetuses. Twenty normally developing fetuses were included in the study. The fetal abdominal aorta and the umbilical artery were studied in 12 and eight cases, respectively. We first estimated flow velocity using time domain ultrasonography and immediately after pulsed Doppler was used. The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to assess the agreement between measurements. A close correlation was found (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.96). Our results show that time domain ultrasonography seems to be a valid technique for imaging fetal vessels and for measuring blood flow velocity.

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 b

The measurement of the velocity of perfused flow in tissue in vivo is complicated by the presence ofstationary as well as moving spins and by a variety ofdephasing phenomena which affect signal amplitudes. This paper describes a technique by which, using flow-sensitized spin-echo sequences with a se

## 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 ± 0.7 mm, using an

An in vivo autoradiographic strategy is described for the measurement of local cerebral blood flow in humans by positron emission tomography, based on an application of the single-compartment model originally proposed by Kety. A variety of factors are considered upon which the successful quantitatio
