Describe the project in detail.

Peak Systolic Velocity Predictor app specifications:

1. Introduction: Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV) Predictor is an app for use as a clinical screening tool for patients who have undergone endovascular treatment with Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of Aortoiliac Bifurcation (CERAB) stents. This app will take geometric dimensions and blood flow velocities from ultrasound scanning as well as Ankle Brachial Index readings as input. The app will calculate the predicted maximum velocity and together with the ultrasound measured maximum velocity, it will determine whether the readings are falling inside or outside of acceptable range and deemed to be “Normal” or “Abnormal.”
2. Input Parameters from Ultrasound Scanner: 2.1 Infra-renal velocity, PSVin (m/s) 2.2 Infra-renal aortic diameter, D1 (mm) 2.3 Right Iliac Artery Diameter, D2 (mm) 2.4 Left Iliac Artery Diameter, D3 (mm)h 2.5 Maximum PSV within flow domain, PSVmax(m/s)  
3. Input Parameters from Ankle Brachial Index Measurements: 3.1 Right Arm Systolic Pressure, RASPR(mmHg) 3.2 Left Arm Systolic Pressure, LASPL(mmHg) 3.3 Right Posterior Tibial Systolic Pressure, PTSPR (mmHg) 3.4 Left Posterior Tibial Systolic Pressure, PTSPL (mmHg) 3.5 Right Dorsalis Pedis Systolic Pressure, DPSPR (mmHg) 3.6 Left Dorsalis Pedis Systolic Pressure, DPSPL (mmHg)  
4. Calculations: ABIL = max(PTSPL,DPSPL)/max(LASP,RASP) ABIR = max(PTSPR,DPSPR)/max(LASP,RASP) Predicted PSV = max(D22/D32,D32/D22)·max(ABIL/ABIR,ABIR/ABIL)·(0.684 + 1.461PSVin − 0.894·( (D22+D32)/D12). If (Predicted PSV/PSVmax>0.85) and (Predicted PSV/PSVmax0<1.15) then “Normal” else “Abnormal 5 User Interface User will be prompted to enter data as in section 2 and 3 above. The outcome will be displayed as shown in section 4 above.

For input data in section 2, PSVin: 0.1..3m/s User will have two options to enter the PSVin data. a) Manually type in the value, the app will adjust to one decimal point b) Pull down menu bar with default 1 m/s and increment or decrement of 0.1m/s in the scroll box minimum 0.1 m/s and maximum 3.0 m/s D1: 8..50mm

User will have two options to enter D1 data. a) Manually type in the value, the app will adjust to one decimal point b) A pull down menu bar with default 15 mm and increment or decrement of 0.1mm in the scroll box minimum 8 mm and maximum 50 mm D2 and D3: 3..20mm

User will have two options to enter D2 and D3 data. a) Manually type in the value, the app will adjust to one decimal point b) A pull down menu bar with default 8 mm and increment or decrement of 0.1mm in the scroll box minimum 3 mm and maximum 20 mm PSVmax: 0.5..5m/s

User will have two options to enter the PSVmax data. a) Manually type in the value, the app will adjust to one decimal point b) Pull down menu bar with default 1 m/s and increment or decrement of 0.1m/s in the scroll box minimum 0.5 m/s and maximum 5.0 m/s

For input data in section 3, All systolic pressure data: 90..250mmHg User will have two options to enter Systolic Pressure data. a) Manually type in the value, the app will adjust to zero decimal point b) Pull down menu bar with default 120 mmHg and increment or decrement of 1mmHg in the scroll box minimum 90 mmHg and maximum 250mmHg

For option 1, the app will display error message if any user data entered falls outside the range and the app will prompt the user to re-enter the correct data. Please format all input data to one decimal point for section 2 diameter and velocity data and zero decimal for section 3 systolic pressure data.

For output, please make the data point i.e. measured PSV on x-axis and predicted PSV on y-axis blinks on the graph. Likewise the word “Normal” flashes on the screen if the data point fall inside the error zone and “Abnormal” flashes if outside the zone followed by “Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) Recommended!”.
