Ultrasound's polar grid is not well suited for trajectory computations. Interpolation of the polar velocity data (dashed cell) immediately inside (“+” marker) or outside (“×” marker) the domain leads to erroneous use of data outside the blood flow domain. This leads to spurious particle flux that in turn pollutes LCS computation. Interpolating the velocity field to a moving unstructured grid helps prevent this problem.
