No immediate clinical use for RV assessment; extends 3D echo-CFD modeling to preclinical RV diastolic flow.
A novel functional imaging approach combining 3D echocardiography and computational fluid dynamics can simulate and quantify right ventricular diastolic flow fields.
Pasipoularides et al. (2003) studied Right ventricular blood flow patterns. Real-time, three-dimensional (3-D) echocardiography (RT3D) functional imaging approach vs. Sonomicrometric measurements was evaluated on Dynamic geometric reconstruction and early RV diastolic inflow field simulation. A novel functional imaging approach using real-time 3-D echocardiography successfully quantified right ventricular wall geometry and simulated diastolic inflow fields.
