Noninvasive blood flow measurements by Doppler ultrasound with application to renal artery flow determination.
A description of a new Doppler ultrasound flow measuring instrument is given along with representative measurements of blood flow in the canine renal artery and the human aortic arch, renal artery, and transplanted kidney renal artery. The instrument is briefly described, and a discussion of the limitations of the technique is presented.
