Why the study?
Does echocardiographic particle image velocimetry correctly detect motion patterns in moving phantoms?
Does echocardiographic particle image velocimetry correctly detect motion patterns in moving phantoms?
Echo-PIV is a feasible and promising technical approach for investigating flow patterns by echocardiography.
Supports Echo-PIV technical refinement; hypothesis-generating for clinical intracardiac flow assessment.
Echo-PIV appears feasible. Velocity estimates are accurate, but the maximal detectable velocity depends strongly on acquisition parameters. Direction estimation works sufficiently, even at higher velocities. Echo-PIV appears to be a promising technical approach to investigate flow patterns by echocardiography.
