Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the 2D cardiac and transductal blood flow in neonates, visualized by ultrafast ultrasound imaging. The ultrafast data acquisition and flow estimation techniques will be iteratively optimized. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary parameters which will be derived from the measurements include cardiac output, maximum velocity through the ductus arteriosus, changes in velocity during heart cycle, vorticity and vector concentration of the velocity field. | — |
