title: Computation of muscle blood flow by 133Xe clearance using polynomial fitting techniques.
abstract: A polynomial fitting technique suitable for small computers has been developed for calculation of the muscle blood flow function by the 133Xe clearance method. An application of the method for blood flow measurements in the lower limbs during hyperaemia is presented. The calculated maximum blood flow and peak time values were closely correlated with the manually elicited results.
