BACKGROUND: Older patients with cardiovascular disease often experience frailty and sarcopenia. We evaluated whether a reduced blood flow in the splenic and portal vein is associated with frailty and sarcopenia in older patients with cardiovascular d...
This study was conducted aiming to investigate impacts of experimentally induced endometritis on the vascular perfusion and echogenicity of the endometrium in dairy cows. Following estrus synchronization and applying cytological and bacteriological e...
BACKGROUND: Heart failure is common in patients receiving hemodialysis. A high-flow arteriovenous fistula (AVF) may represent a modifiable risk factor for heart failure and death. Currently, no tools exist to assess the risk of developing a high-flow...

BACKGROUND: Four-dimensional cardiovascular magnetic resonance flow imaging (4D flow CMR) plays an important role in assessing cardiovascular diseases. However, the manual or semi-automatic segmentation of aortic vessel boundaries in 4D flow data int...
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with impaired blood flow in the lower extremities and histopathologic changes of the skeletal calf muscles, resulting in abnormal microvascular perfusion. We studied the use of convolution neural networks...
Micro/nanorobotic swarms consisting of numerous tiny building blocks show great potential in biomedical applications because of their collective active delivery ability, enhanced imaging contrast, and environment-adaptive capability. However, in vivo...
SIGNIFICANCE: Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is a powerful, noninvasive optical technique for measuring blood flow. Traditionally the blood flow index (BFi) is derived through nonlinear least-square fitting the measured intensity autocorrelat...
SIGNIFICANCE: Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) gives a relative measure of microcirculatory perfusion. However, due to the limited information in single-exposure LSCI, models are inaccurate for skin tissue due to complex effects from e.g. static...
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access (VA) for hemodialysis, but it is associated with high non-maturation and failure rates. Predicting patient-specific AVF maturation and postoperative changes in blood flow volume...
