Quality of care for peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) in Nepal: A cross-sectional study on feasibility and inter-rater agreement of the Peripheral Intravenous Catheters-mini Questionnaire (PIVC-miniQ) in a tertiary care hospital
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objectives There is a lack of data regarding the quality of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC)-related care from low-income and middle-income countries, even though the use of PIVCs may lead to local or severe systemic ... -
Quality of radiation protection aprons and quality control routines at different diagnostic imaging modalities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction: The purpose of this project was to assess the quality of lead aprons at different departments at two hospitals and to investigate whether there was a connection between routines for controlling lead aprons ... -
Quantification of Flow Rates and Flow Volumes in Valve Regurgitation Using 3-D High Frame-Rate Ultrasound
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Valve regurgitation is a cardiac condition caused by the incomplete closure of a cardiac valve. Untreated, this condition may result in cardiac failure. Regular monitoring of this condition is essential in guiding the ... -
Quantification of mitral and aortic regurgitation using high pulse repetition frequency three-dimensional color Doppler
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:4, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Det er utviklet og patentert en tredimensjonal ultralyd Doppler metode (multibeam high pulse repetition frequency color Doppler eller MULDO) for kvantitering av klaffelekkasjer. Ved hjelp av Doppler kan blodstrøms ... -
Quantifying bone marrow inflammatory edema in the spine and sacroiliac joints with thresholding
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that develops in patients with psoriasis. Inflammatory edema in the spine may reflect subclinical disease activity and be a predictor of radiographic ... -
Quantifying Valve Regurgitation Using 3-D Doppler Ultrasound Images and Deep Learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Accurate quantification of cardiac valve regurgitation jets is fundamental for guiding treatment. Cardiac ultrasound is the preferred diagnostic tool, but current methods for measuring the regurgitant volume are limited ... -
