Title: Array signal processing for local arterial pulse wave velocity measurement using ultrasound. Author: Hoctor RT, Dentinger AM, Thomenius KE. Journal: IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control; 2007 May; 54(5):1018-27. PubMed ID: 17523566. Abstract: A new signal processing approach to estimation of local arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV) in superficial arterial segments using long-axis ultrasound measurements is proposed. The method is designed to be resistant to estimation bias due to pulse wave reflections. It is evaluated using a laboratory test tank, and it appears to estimate local PWV with less bias than previously accepted methods, and with similar estimation variance to those methods.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
