Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area |
Utilizes aliasing velocity (by color Doppler) of flow into an orifice (often regurgitant or stenotic) to measure instantaneous flow rate, orifice area, and flow volume.The instantaneous flow rate = (2πr2vav) * (απ) where vav is the constant velocity known as aliasing velocity at radius r, vpis the peak velocity at the orifice, and α is the angle in radians of the constant velocity surface.Estimated Orifice area = Flow rate / vp, where vp is the peak velocity at the orifice and the flow rate is the PISA peak flow rate.The volume flow is then the product of the orifice area and Velocity Time Integral. |

Continuity Equation by Velocity Time Integral |
For conduits in series ("in continuity"), volume flow is equal: A1*V1 = A2*V2. where V is the velocity time integral. |

Continuity Equation by Peak Velocity |
For conduits in series ("in continuity"), volume flow is equal: A1*V1 = A2*V2. where V is the peak velocity. |

Continuity Equation by Mean Velocity |
For conduits in series ("in continuity"), volume flow is equal: A1*V1 = A2*V2. where V is the mean velocity. |
