Investigation of Phase‐Change Droplets and Fast Imaging for Indicator Dilution Measurement of Flow
This in vitro study demonstrates the feasibility of using a positive bolus tracer, induced by image-guided ultrasound excitation, to measure flow. Potential applications include measurement of the portal vein to hepatic artery flow ratio, known as the hepatic perfusion index.
