Abstract
AbstractPurposeTo demonstrate shunt flow through small ventricular septal defects (VSDs) using HDlive Flow with spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) and HDlive Silhouette.MethodsFour cases of isolated small VSDs were evaluated using colour Doppler, and HDlive Flow with STIC and HDlive Silhouette.ResultsHDlive Flow with STIC and HDlive Silhouette can improve the ability to depict shunt flow through small VSDs compared with colour Doppler.ConclusionThis technique provides information on spatial recognition of the shunt flow through isolated small VSDs in real time.
