title: Continuous in vivo recordings of intraocular capillary and aqueous humor flows.
abstract: Multiple-point recordings of the initial slopes of xenon 133 and human serum albumin I125 washout from various ocular regions were utilized to visualize changes in capillary and aqueous humor bulk flow in vivo. Preservation of slope linearity is essential for sensitive responsiveness of recordings to flow change. Linearity is enhanced by the initial slope approach in which stability of physiological values and drug effects are maintained and slopes are closely fitted to multiple points. As examples of intraocular flow changes which may be observed and computed from such slopes, responses recorded in forty feline washout studies are presented and the fundamentals of washout recording interpretation are discussed.
