| Abstract | Inappropriate blood coagulation is a significant contributing factor in the onset of potentially fatal thrombotic events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). The ability to recognize and quantify thrombotic disorders is thus critical to implement appropriate treatment. We have developed a novel technique, called sonorheometry, which can identify an increased or decreased propensity to clot by observing the coagulation rate and mechanical characteristics of the developing clot. Sonorheometry utilizes acoustic radiation force with ultrasound motion tracking. We have designed and fabricated a sonorheometry system which is controlled by an external laptop computer. In the experiments presented in this paper, we analyzed blood samples of 1ml using a 10 MHz, fixed focus transducer at a PRF of 400 Hz. Measurements were performed every 6 sec for 7 min after blood was drawn. Returning echoes were processed using a spline-based tracking method to determine the time dependent deformations induced by the application of the force. These deformations were modeled using two Voigt models in series with added inertia to generate data depicting various mechanical properties. We present time displacement curves that show maximum displacements of 40 mum; detectable displacements decrease as the blood clots. We also show the viscoelastic parameters obtained from the model. These results show that sonorheometry could be used to assess coagulation potential. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
