Quantification of Emboli Formation with Ultrasound Imaging

Cara Pearson

Blood flow will be mimicked using an in vitro flow loop and ultrasound, a diagnostic tool used for thrombi and emboli identification, records the formation of emboli in real-time in a bovine vessel.  Afterwards, emboli development will be analyzed and quantified computationally.   Little is understood about emboli development, therefore, techniques for studying real-time formation would be crucial for prevention.
