Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The main study parameter is the 2D cardiac and transductal blood flow in<br /><br>neonates, visualized by ultrafast ultrasound imaging. The ultrafast data<br /><br>acquisition and flow estimation techniques will be iteratively optimized. </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Secondary parameters which will be derived from the measurements include<br /><br>cardiac output, maximum velocity through the ductus arteriosus, changes in<br /><br>velocity during heart cycle, vorticity and vector concentration of the velocity<br /><br>field.</p><br>
