An Automatic Method to Track Red Blood Cells in Microchannels
The study of the red blood cells (RBCs) flowing in microvessels and microchannels is very important to provide a better understanding on the blood rheological properties and disorders in microvessels [1-5]. In this kind of study, the image analysis is an essential part to obtain crucial information about the blood rheology. However, most of the data analysis procedures have been executed manual...
متن کاملIn vivo red blood cell compatibility testing using indium-113m tropolone-labeled red blood cells.
In vivo radionuclide crossmatch is a method for identifying compatible blood for transfusion when allo- or autoantibodies preclude the use of conventional crossmatching techniques. A technique for labeling small volumes of donor red blood cells with [113mIn]tropolone is reported. The use of 113mIn minimizes the accumulation of background radioactivity and the radiation dose especially so when m...
متن کاملA Two-Dimensional Numerical Investigation of Transport of Malaria-Infected Red Blood Cells in Stenotic Microchannels
The malaria-infected red blood cells experience a significant decrease in cell deformability and increase in cell membrane adhesion. Blood hemodynamics in microvessels is significantly affected by the alteration of the mechanical property as well as the aggregation of parasitized red blood cells. In this study, we aim to numerically study the connection between cell-level mechanobiological prop...
متن کاملDeformation and dynamics of red blood cells in flow through cylindrical microchannels.
The motion of red blood cells (RBCs) in microcirculation plays an important role in blood flow resistance and in the cell partitioning within a microvascular network. Different shapes and dynamics of RBCs in microvessels have been previously observed experimentally including the parachute and slipper shapes. We employ mesoscale hydrodynamic simulations to predict the phase diagram of shapes and...
متن کاملMeasurement of Retinal Blood Flow Using Fluorescently Labeled Red Blood Cells.
Blood flow is a useful indicator of the metabolic state of the retina. However, accurate measurement of retinal blood flow is difficult to achieve in practice. Most existing optical techniques used for measuring blood flow require complex assumptions and calculations. We describe here a simple and direct method for calculating absolute blood flow in vessels of all sizes in the rat retina. The m...
