Structured PICO

Does automated image analysis improve the speed and accuracy of measuring functional microcirculatory geometry and velocity distributions compared to manual methods?

P
Population
1 healthy volunteer and 1 patient during cardiac surgery (n=2)
I
Intervention
Automated image analysis algorithms for quantitative assessment of microcirculatory videos
C
Comparator
Commercial software and previous methods requiring manual vessel identification
O
Outcome
Accuracy of vessel diameter detection, capillary length estimation, and velocity estimation, as well as analysis timesurrogate

A novel automated image analysis method significantly reduces the time required to analyze microcirculatory videos while maintaining high accuracy for vessel geometry and velocity.
