Analysis of index modulation in microembolic Doppler signals part I: radiation force as a new hypothesis-simulations.
The purpose of this study was to reveal the cause of frequency modulation (FM) present in microembolic Doppler ultrasound signals. This novel explanation should help the development of sensitive microembolus discrimination techniques. We suggest that the frequency modulation detected is caused by the ultrasonic radiation force (URF) acting directly on microemboli. The frequency modulation and t...
متن کاملAnalysis of index modulation of doppler microembolic signals part II: in vitro discrimination.
The purpose of this study was to validate through experiments that frequency modulation (FM) of microembolic signatures was principally due to the radiation force. Several experiments were required to prove that such a frequency modulation originates from microdisplacements induced by the radiation force acting on microbubbles. The first experiment was performed to verify that the diffraction e...
متن کاملDoppler Microembolic Signals in Behcet\'s Disease with Nervous System Involvement
Background: Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology, and vasculitis being its major pathological feature. Objectives: We studied the prevalence of microembolic signals (MES) in patients with diagnosis Behçet's disease. We also tried to determine the frequency of MES in BD patients with or without neurological involvement. Mater...
متن کاملDetection of Doppler Microembolic Signals Using High Order Statistics
Robust detection of the smallest circulating cerebral microemboli is an efficient way of preventing strokes, which is second cause of mortality worldwide. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound is widely considered the most convenient system for the detection of microemboli. The most common standard detection is achieved through the Doppler energy signal and depends on an empirically set constant thre...
متن کاملClinical correlations of Doppler microembolic signals in patients with prosthetic cardiac valves: analysis of 580 cases.
BACKGROUND The clinical relevance of Doppler microembolic signals (MES) in patients with prosthetic cardiac valves was evaluated by merging and statistically reanalyzing patient data from four research institutions (Departments of Neurology, Universities of Aachen, Halle, and Münster, Germany; Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Glasgow, Scotland, and Department of Cardiothor...
