Cb. Henk et al., ASSESSMENT OF HEMODYNAMICS IN HEMODIALYSIS SHUNTS - FROM CATHETER PROBE TO MAGNETIC-RESONANCE-IMAGING, Seminars in interventional radiology, 14(1), 1997, pp. 91-99
This article reviews the different types of modalities that can assess
the hemodynamics in hemodialysis shunts. Discussion focuses on indica
tor and thermal dilution methods, measurement of pressure and gradient
s, magnetic resonance flow measurements, and intervascular Doppler flo
w mapping techniques. Each specific technique is discussed with concen
tration on the technique, results, and usefulness of the modality.
