[Flow time analysis in sonographic flow measurements: an in vitro measurement for testing their accuracy].
Flow-time analysis is a new technique for colour coded sonographic flow measurements. The measurements depend on a pattern of ultrasound pulses and have some significant advantages compared with Doppler procedures. The accuracy of the method and possible sources of error have been studied under experimental conditions. Measurements on continuous blood flow showed a correlation of r > 0.99 for duplex sonography and of r > 0.93 for flow-time analysis. For this method, the colour coding parameters must be optimal in order to achieve high accuracy. Under these conditions quantitative measurement of pulsatile flow also becomes possible during colour mode.
