EKV
ECG-gated Kilohertz Visualization
Get Increased Temporal and Spatial Resolution Imaging
Maximum frame rate imaging for maximum resolution - up to 10,000 frames per second
EKV, or ECG-gated Kilohertz Visualization, allows for increased temporal resolution.
By averaging multiple cardiac cycles, typical B-mode frame rates are increased from ~300 frames/sec to up to 10,000 frames/sec! This simple and quick acquisition mode generates presentation quality videos that accurately resolve small animal cardiac motion, with heart rates commonly between 300 and 600 bpm.
Combine EKV with Color or Power Doppler on the Vevo F2 for unprecedented visualization of cardiac flow dynamics!
EKV helps with measuring a variety of normal and disease states including:
- Myocardial wall motion
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm models
- Pulsed wave velocity measurements in atherosclerosis
- Valvular dynamics
