To detect convective gas flow inside the large airways during high frequency oscillated ventilation (HFOV) the fluorinated contrast gas Heptafluoropropane was used for 19F-MRI. In a first study the comparison between constant flow measurements and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations provided a good agreement. In a following experiment oscillated flow was applied to a lung phantom consisting of ventilation bag and long pipe. The pressure wave inside the pipe was explored point-by-point and corresponding velocities were determined. With these experiments it could be shown for the first time that flow measurement during HFOV using fluorinated contrast gas is feasible.
Der vorliegende Artikel skizziert die neu entwickelte Prozesskette für detailgenaue Rekonstruktion von Geometrien anhand medizinischer Bilddaten sowie die Herstellung von transparenten Modellen für experimentelle Untersuchungen mit bildgebenden Strömungsmessverfahren. Die Geometriedaten und Modelle werden für systematische Untersuchungen der komplexen Transportvorgänge in den Atemwegen bei künstlicher Beatmung mittels Hochfrequenzoszillationsventilation (HFOV) verwendet.
