  1. 21. Non-invasive ultrasound measurements of vascular impedance

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Roger Larsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Ultrasound; ultrafast ultrasound imaging; vascular impedance; pulse wave velocity; motion tracking; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Despite its introduction in the early 1950´s, vascular impedance has yet to be applied in clinical use to predict early stages of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is defined as the ratio between blood pressure and flow and describes the opposition to blood flow within the cardiovascular system. READ MORE

  3. 22. Assessment of hemodynamic parameters using 4D Flow MRI

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Mattias Andersson; [2018]
    Keywords : Hemodynamics; Hemodynamic Parameters; 4D Flow; 4D Flow MRI; Blood flow; Cardiac Disease; Heart Disease; MRI; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Visualisation; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Heart disease is one of the worldwide leading causes of death, and facilitating the work of physicians in this area is therefore of great importance. Imaging of the heart is one of many fields that is used for diagnosis and analysis of cardiac disease. READ MORE

  4. 23. Translation of Clinical Rupture Risk Factors for the Biomechanics based AAA Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Viktor Winther; [2017]
    Keywords : Medicin teknik;

    Abstract : The abdominal aorta is the largest blood vessel in the abdomen and the main supplier of blood to the lower body. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an unnatural enlargement of the abdominal aorta, which is a serious condition with a high risk of mortality. READ MORE

  5. 24. Designing for Prehospital Care Training : Aiding the development of mental models within procedural memory, through a training toolkit that improves proficiency in prehospital care procedures such as REBOA.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Designhögskolan vid Umeå universitet

    Author : Christoph Zobl; [2017]
    Keywords : Interaction Design; Instructional Design; Mental Models; REBOA; Prehospital Care; Training; London Air Ambulance;

    Abstract : This is an educational design project exploring how prehospital care training can be altered to improve mental proficiency for emergency medical professionals.  The London Air Ambulance performs a complex life-saving procedure known as REBOA (Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta) on the roadside; the only emergency medical service to do so worldwide.

  6. 25. Creating hemodynamic atlas of aorta

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Pierre-Loïc Felter; [2017]
    Keywords : hemodynamic; atlas; turbulent; kinetic; energy; aorta; 4D; Flow; MRI;

    Abstract : Turbulent blood flow is involved in the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular diseases. While it is known that turbulence is present in patients with obstructive disease in the major vessels, the magnitude and impact of turbulence in the normal heart and aorta is still relatively unexplored.
