Fig 2 Correlations between Doppler and true flow measurements. Given are uncorrected (left) and second-order corrected (right) data for the three systems. All show some differences in flow between veins and arteries; these are minor in system 1 and 2 but significant in system 3. After second-order correction, the differences are negligible.

Fig 3 Correlations between Doppler and true flow measurements. The effects of flow media (saline or blood, left). temperature (25° or 37°C, right). All data are corrected for differences in graft material (arteries or veins). Flow media had only a minor effect on Doppler flow measurements (not significant), whereas temperature produced larger deviations, particularly in system 3, although they are not significant.

Fig 4 Bland-Altman analysis of three systems. Plotted are true flow (x-axis) versus the differences in Doppler minus true flow measurements (y-axis). System 3 shows the largest deviations, which diminish after second-order correction. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (00) )
