A rapid and Easy Objective Evaluation of the Three Vessel View to Enhance Diagnostic Confidence in Fetal Echocardiography
The three vessel view (3VV) is an integral component of fetal cardiac screening. The evaluation of vessel size is subjective in this view. Not infrequently, however, there can be a doubt and a need arises for...

The Evaluation of Fetal Cardiac Remote Screening in the Second Trimester of Pregnancy Using the Spatio-Temporal Image Correlation Method
We prospectively performed remote fetal cardiac screening using the spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC), and examined the usefulness and problems of remote screening. We performed heart screening for all pre...

Open AccessA posteriori accuracy estimation of ultrasonic vector-flow map** (VFM)
A novel method, called a posteriori “VFM accuracy estimation” (VAE), for resolving an intrinsic VFM problem is proposed. The problem is that VFM uncertainty can easily vary according to blood flows through an ...

Open AccessAccuracy and limitations of vector flow map**: left ventricular phantom validation using stereo particle image velocimetory
The accuracy of vector flow map** (VFM) was investigated in comparison to stereo particle image velocimetry (stereo-PIV) measurements using a left ventricular phantom. VFM is an echocardiographic approach to...

The evaluation of diastolic function using the diastolic wall strain (DWS) before and after radical surgery for congenital diaphragmatic hernia
The measurement of diastolic wall strain (DWS), a new method of evaluating cardiac diastolic function, was employed to evaluate ventricular diastolic function in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (...

A correction method for measuring turbulence kinetic energy dissipation rate by PIV
The accuracy of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation rate measured by PIV is studied. The critical issue for PIV-based dissipation measurements is the strong dependency on the spatial resolution, Δx, as rep...
