Assessment of numerical simulation strategies for ultrasonic color blood flow imaging, based on a computer and experimental model of the carotid artery Universiteit Gent
Ultrasonic Doppler techniques are well established and allow qualitative and quantitative flow analysis. However, due to inherent limitations of the imaging process, the actual flow dynamics and the ultrasound (US) image do not always correspond. To investigate the performance of ultrasonic flow imaging methods, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can play an important role. CFD simulations can be directly processed to mimic ultrasonic images or ...
