    • Automated analysis of color tissue Doppler velocity recordings of the fetal myocardium using a new algorithm 

      Herling, Lotta; Johnson, Jonas; Ferm-Widlund, Kjerstin; Lindgren, Peter; Acharya, Ganesh; Westgren, Magnus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-27)
      Background: Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) can be used to assess fetal cardiac function and it has been shown to detect changes associated with hypoxia in animal models. However, the analysis is cumbersome and time consuming. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a new algorithm developed for the automated analysis of color TDI velocity recordings of the fetal myocardium. ...

    • Automated analysis of fetal cardiac function using color tissue Doppler imaging in second half of normal pregnancy 

      Herling, Lotta; Johnson, Jonas; Ferm-Widlund, Kjerstin; Bergholm, Fredrik; Elmstedt, Nina; Lindgren, Peter; Sonesson, Sven-Erik; Acharya, Ganesh; Westgren, Magnus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-02-26)
      <i>Objectives</i> - Color tissue Doppler imaging (cTDI) is a promising tool for the assessment of fetal cardiac function. However, the analysis of myocardial velocity traces is cumbersome and time‐consuming, limiting its application in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate fetal cardiac function during the second half of pregnancy and to develop reference ranges using an ...

    • Fetal cardiac function at intrauterine transfusion assessed by automated analysis of color tissue Doppler recordings 

      Herling, Lotta; Johnson, Jonas; Ferm-Widlund, Kjerstin; Bergholm, Fredrik; Lindgren, Peter; Sonesson, Sven-Erik; Acharya, Ganesh; Westgren, Magnus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-13)
      Background: Fetal anemia is associated with a hyperdynamic circulation and cardiac remodeling. Rapid intrauterine transfusion (IUT) of blood with high hematocrit and viscosity into the umbilical vein used to treat this condition can temporarily further affect fetal heart function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term changes in fetal myocardial function caused by IUT using automated ...
