Single-element ultrasound system for high-resolution jugular venous pulse contour detection.

ABSTRACT: Jugular venous pulse (JVP) waveform contour is directly linked to right atrial hemodynamics and is a potential tool for diagnosing various cardiovascular diseases. The reference standard, central venous line catheterization, while precise, is restricted to critical care units owing to the necessity for surgical procedures and specialized operator skills. Conventional ultrasound imaging systems can reliably measure jugular venous vessel dynamics but are hindered by low operational frame rates, large form factors, and the requirement for trained operators. In this study, we propose a portable system using single-element ultrasound technology for reliable JVP waveform acquisition and methods for quantifying the JVP contour features. The performance of the system and method was validated again
