Results and info panel

This panel consists of two tab-sheets: Results panel and Other info panel.

Results panel

The panel shows the results of the analysis. The following data are displayed:

Mean IMT [mm]:  Intima Media Thickness. It is computed as an average value of the data present in the IMT chart.

Mean diameter [mm]: value of the average diameter. It is computed as an average value of the diameter data present in the Diameter chart.

Systolic diameter [mm]: value of the diameter in systole. It is computed as an average value of the systolic diameters present in the Diameter chart.

Diastolic diameter [mm]: value of the diameter in diastole. It is computed as an average value of the diastolic diameters present in the Diameter chart.

Blood pressure [mmHg]: diastolic pressure and systolic pressure.

Distension [mm]: stroke change in diameter.

Compliance [10-6·m2·kPa-1]: absolute change in lumen area for a given pressure change.

Distensibility [10-3· kPa-1]: relative change in lumen area during systole for a given pressure change.

Carotid Stiffness [m·s -1]: Stiffness value computed by Bramwell-Hill equation.

Young’s elastic modulus [kPa]:

where:

De = External Diameter (between the media-adventitia interfaces) measured in diastole.

Di = Internal Diameter (between the lumen-intima interfaces) measured in diastole.

Ds = Systolic Diameter (external).

Dd = Diastolic Diameter (external), Dd = De .

WCSA = Wall Cross Section Area.

ΔA = Stroke change in lumen area.

Ad = Diastolic Area.

Ps = Systolic Pressure.

Pd = Diastolic Pressure.

ΔP = Ps - Pd

ρ = Blood density: is assumed to be constant and equal to 1.06 g/cm3.

These data can be exported in the Document Data. Please see Export and Save.

Other info panel

The panel shows the information about the study, the document, the patient, the operator and the institute.
