Non-invasive and quantitative measurement of volume flow-rate at internal and external carotid and vertebral arteries.
A non-invasive and quantitative system to measure the volume flow-rate, velocity and diameter in the internal and external carotid arteries and vertebral artery was developed. It was verified from the model experiment and clinical applications that this system could provide quite useful flow informations in small and sinuous artery within 8% error.
