Detection of micro emboli using signal energy and discrete fourier transform / Basil Mathew Panamkuttiyil
A micro embolus is a plug of clot, fat, air or other material not normally found in blood that moves with flowing blood between two points in the circulation. Micro emboli have been detected with pathologies such as carotid artery disease, atrial fibrillation and also in association with implanted v...
