The development of an automated vascular laboratory.
Conventional vascular laboratory investigations such as Doppler ultrasound and photoplethysmography refilling tests produce results which require tedious cutting of chart recorder paper and calculation with the aid of ruler and pocket calculator. We have connected vascular lab equipment to a microcomputer which is able to record the data, generate reports and analyse the curves.
