ObjectivesTo investigate the feasibility of the vector flow imaging (V Flow) technique to measure peripheral arterial hemodynamic parameters, including wall shear stress (WSS) and turbulence index (Tur) in healthy adults, and compare the results in different arteries. Materials and methodsFifty-two healthy adult volunteers were recruited in this study. The maximum and mean values of WSS, and the Tur values at early-systole, mid-systole, late-systole, and early diastole for total 156 normal peripheral arteries [common carotid arteries (CCA), subclavian arteries (SCA), and common femoral arteries (CFA)] were assessed using the V Flow technique. ResultsThe mean WSS values for CCA, SCA, and CFA were (1.66 +/- 0.68) Pa, (0.62 +/- 0.30) Pa, and (0.56 +/- 0.27) Pa, respectively. The mean Tur values for CCA, SCA, and CFA were (0.46 +/- 1.09%), (20.7 +/- 9.06%), and (24.63 +/- 17.66%), respectively. The CCA and SCA, as well as the CCA and CFA, showed statistically significant differences in the mean WSS and the mean Tur (P < 0.01). The mean Tur values had a negative correlation with the mean WSS; the correlation coefficient between log(Tur) and WSS is -0.69 (P < 0.05). ConclusionV Flow technique is a simple, practical, and feasible quantitative imaging approach for assessing WSS and Tur in peripheral arteries. It has the potential to be a useful tool for evaluating atherosclerotic plaques in peripheral arteries. The results provide a new quantitative foundation for future investigations into diverse arterial hemodynamic parameters.
