Quantitative assessment of aortic elasticity with aging using velocity-vector imaging and its histologic correlation.
OBJECTIVE Velocity-vector imaging (VVI) represents a valuable new method for noninvasive quantification of vascular properties associated with aging. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlations between VVI parameters and histological changes with aging. APPROACH AND RESULTS Fourteen mongrel dogs were classified as either young (n=7; age, 1-2 years; female; weighing 22-29 kg) or s...
متن کاملVector Velocity Imaging Using Cross-Correlation and Virtual Sources
Previous investigations have shown promising results in using the directional cross-correlation method to estimate velocity vectors. The velocity vector estimate provides information on both velocity direction and magnitude. The direction is estimated by beamforming signals along directions in the range [0◦; 180◦[ and identifying the direction that produces the largest correlation across emissi...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricle Torsion by Tissue Doppler and Velocity Vector Imaging
Introduction Left ventricular (LV) twist is believed to store potential energy and plays an important role in generating diastolic suction. Recent advances in echocardiography techniques have allowed quantification of LV twist. The aim of the present study was to compare LV twist and torsion in healthy human subjects determined by velocity vector imaging (VVI) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) a...
متن کاملassessment of inter and intra-atrial asynchrony in patients with systolic heart failure using velocity vector imaging
conclusions: left ventricular systolic heart failure, may result in inter and intra-atrial asynchrony even in clinically stable patients without significant pulmonary hypertension and diastolic dysfunction. results: in heart failure patients either inter or intra-atrial asynchrony were far more common in comparison with normal subjects (p=0.008 and p=0.007 respectively). patients and methods: t...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
