Non-invasive Intravascular Pressure Gradient Estimation using Synthetic Aperture Ultrasound

This study presents a new method for noninvasive pressure gradient estimations. It combines a new method for estimating the spatio-temporal acceleration of the flowing blood with the Navier-Stokes equation. The method is based on a double cross-correlation approach, which is hypothesized to generate more precise pressure gradients than previous methods. The acceleration is determined by cross-corr...
