title: [Three-dimensional motion of the radial artery and attributes of position, rhythm, shape and variance of pulse diagnosis].
abstract: In using the sophisticated colour Doppler image-forming technique, and analysis with the self-made cardioelectric phasic mark fixed point as well as the limb minus/plus pressure bathtub, 44 healthy youths were observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  (1) The superficial arteries in the limbs have their motion forms of radial expansion, axial extension and axis shifting. (2) These three motions, together with the pulsation present periodical changes. (3) Compared with the results on the survey of the topographical autopsy of a cadaver, the scope and forms of aforementioned artery motion were related to the anatomical positions of cadaver in which they were located. (4) The above-mentioned axial position shifting of the arteries constitute the whole body shifting or revolving of the blood vessels through plain observations on two dimensions and provide three-dimensional signals. (5) A systematic study was made between the relationship of the vascular motion pattern in human body and the form attributes of position, rhythm, shape and variance. It is significant to study the individuality of vascular activities as well as to elucidate the mechanism in forming the pulse conditions of TCM.
