Characterization of velocity patterns produced by pulsatile and constant flows using 1000 fps high-speed angiography (HSA).

ABSTRACT: In order to accurately quantify rapidly changing blood flow velocities, as typically seen in the neurovasculature, high temporal resolution is necessary. Current methods to extract velocity data from angiographic image sequences are generally limited to 30 fps or less. High-speed angiography (HSA) with a maximal frame rate of 1000 fps can be used to evaluate time-dependent flow details normally averaged out with lower frame rates. For new HSA image sequences, two different quantitative methods were utilized to extract high-temporal resolution velocity changes: X-Ray Particle Image Velocimetry (X-PIV) and optical flow (OF). A variety of flow conditions were examined in a range of patient-specific 3D-printed phantoms. Both pulsatile and constant flow settings were investigated. X-PIV was performed using radiopaque sub-millimeter microspheres, which were tracked throughout the image sequence to provide accurate, but limited sampling of the velocity field within the 3D-printed models. Also, an open source optical flow algorithm, OpenOpticalFlow, was used to perform velocity estimation based on the spatio-temporal intensity changes of iodinated contrast wavefronts. Periodic changes in velocity within each phantom ROI can be illustrated throughout the pulsatile cycle capture by the high-speed detector. In the constant flow sequences, changes in velocity across the phantom geometry can be seen. The ability to accurately measure detailed velocity distributions and velocity changes throughout various flow conditions at high temporal resolution enables further insight into the evaluation and treatment of neurovascular disease states.

Project description:BackgroundHamstring strain injuries are associated with significant time away from sport and high reinjury rates. Recent evidence suggests that hamstring injuries often occur during accelerative running, but investigations of hamstring mechanics have primarily examined constant speed running on a treadmill. To help fill this gap in knowledge, this study compares hamstring lengths and lengthening velocities between accelerative running and constant speed overground running.MethodsWe recorded 2 synchronized videos of 10 participants (5 female, 5 male) during 6 accelerative running trials and 6 constant speed running trials. We used OpenCap (a markerless motion capture system) to estimate body segment kinematics for each trial and a 3-dimensional musculoskeletal model to compute peak length and step-average lengthening velocity of the biceps femoris (long head) muscle-tendon unit. To compare running conditions, we used linear mixed regression models with running speed (normalized by the subject-specific maximum) as the independent variable.ResultsAt running speeds below 75% of top speed accelerative running resulted in greater peak lengths than constant speed running. For example, the peak hamstring muscle-tendon length when a person accelerated from running at only 50% of top speed was equivalent to running at a constant 88% of top speed. Lengthening velocities were greater during accelerative running at all running speeds. Differences in hip flexion kinematics primarily drove the greater peak muscle-tendon lengths and lengthening velocities observed in accelerative running.ConclusionHamstrings are subjected to longer muscle-tendon lengths and faster lengthening velocities in accelerative running compared to constant speed running. This provides a biomechanical explanation for the observation that hamstring strain injuries often occur during acceleration. Our results suggest coaches who monitor exposure to high-risk circumstances (long lengths, fast lengthening velocities) should consider the accelerative nature of running in addition to running speed.
