Abstract

This study focus on the effects of motions of vessel wall on the color flow mapping (CFM) images and whether the CFM images can truthfully reflect the behaviors of the vessel wall and blood flow. By coupling numerical Runge-Kutta and ultrasound simulation method, a model is proposed to generate CFM images, considering wall vibration, vessel stenosis and blood pulsatility. The cases with six different wall oscillation frequencies and four different stenosis degrees are investigated. The results show that the motion of vessel wall has effect on CFM images, and the generated CFM images will reflect the motion of vessel wall. Thus, this simulation model can be used as a tool to assess the interaction between the vessel wall and blood flow motion, and to evaluate ultrasound signal processing and visualization techniques.
