Calculation of the pulsatile ocular blood flow.
Based on reasonable assumptions, it is theoretically possible to determine the pulsatile ocular blood flow. The pertinent parameter is not the pulse amplitude but the steepest decay value of record (ie, the minimum of dV(t)/dt). Some advantages of developing the record in Fourier series are discussed. The importance of careful analysis of the recording system is stressed.
