System and method for simultaneous visualization and quantification of wall shear stress in blood vessels

摘要

A system according to the present disclosure includes a display unit and a processor, the processor communicating with the display unit and an ultrasound imaging device for generating images from ultrasound data representing the body structure and fluid flowing within the body structure. Are possibly combined. The processor generates vector field data including an axial velocity component and a lateral (or lateral) velocity component of a fluid flowing in the body structure, and based on the axial velocity component and the lateral velocity component, the body structure based on the axial velocity component and the lateral velocity component. Calculating velocity profiles at multiple locations along the wall of the wall, generating wall shear stress (WSS) visualization data based at least in part on the velocity profiles, and displaying WSS visualization data on the display unit. And simultaneously displaying an image including the overlaid body structure.
