Figure 4

An ultrasound image showing microbubbles inside the left ventricle of the heart of a pig (left). The ultrasound probe is on the external side of the heart wall near the apex. The PIV data corresponding to the bubble motion is shown on the right. The data clearly contains some errors (e.g., the circled vector).
