Accurate Blood Flow Measurements: Are Artificial Tracers Necessary?
Imaging-based blood flow measurement techniques, such as particle image velocimetry, have become an important tool in cardiovascular research. They provide quantitative information about blood flow, which benefits applications ranging from developmental biology to tumor perfusion studies. Studies using these methods can be classified based on whether they use artificial tracers or red blood cel...
متن کاملPancreatic Blood Flow Measurements
In experimental obstructive chronic pancreatitis the normal hyperaemic response to secretory stimulation is lost, suggesting abnormal vascular regulation. Vascular regulatory mechanisms were investigated by observing the effect of increments in portal pressure on pancreatic blood flow in normal cats and cats with chronic pancreatitis. Normal cats maintained pancreatic blood flow until portal pr...
متن کاملThe measurement of blood flow in humans using radioactive tracers.
Since the first description of the movement of blood around the body by William Harvey, the accurate measurement of blood velocity has provided a major challenge for medical science. This review looks at the contribution made by techniques using radioactive tracers. Initially consideration is given to the fundamental problem of how to measure the amount of radiotracer in an organ with sufficien...
متن کاملAcoustic resolution photoacoustic Doppler flowmetry: practical considerations for obtaining accurate measurements of blood flow
An assessment has been made of various experimental factors affecting the accuracy of flow velocities measured using a pulsed time correlation photoacoustic Doppler technique. In this method, Doppler time shifts are quantified via crosscorrelation of pairs of photoacoustic waveforms generated in moving absorbers using pairs of laser light pulses, and the photoacoustic waves are detected using a...
متن کاملAre current measurements of lower extremity muscle architecture accurate?
Skeletal muscle architecture is defined as the arrangement of fibers in a muscle and functionally defines performance capacity. Architectural values are used to model muscle-joint behavior and to make surgical decisions. The two most extensively used human lower extremity data sets consist of five total specimens of unknown size, gender, and age. Therefore, it is critically important to generat...
