Continuous measurement of liver tissue blood flow by laser-Doppler velocimetry.

Tissue blood flow measurement by laser Doppler technique

  Measurement of blood flow and the effects of different factors on tissue blood flow are important fields of research in physiology and pharmacology. So far, different methods have been innovated, using laser light is the Last one. In this article history, principles and specifications of laser technique along with its advantages and disadvantages ( in comparison with other methods) are revie...

Continuous measurement of tissue blood flow by laser-Doppler spectroscopy.

Laser light scattered from tissue in vivo is broadened in line width as a result of the Doppler shift produced by moving red cells in the microcirculation. A feasibility study was carried out to demonstrate use of this effect to measure and monitor tissue blood flow. Light from a helium-neon laser illuminated a 1-mm area of tissue (human skin or rat renal cortex), and the backscattered light wa...

Blood Flow Measurement by Laser Doppler Method in Orofacial Region

Laser Doppler is a noninvasive, objective, reproducible and painless method for measuring blood flow in tissue microcirculation. This method is based on the Doppler effect, the change in frequency of light reflecting from blood cells in motion. Light from helium-neon laser through optical fibers and probes is directed to the surface of the tissue in which the flow is measured. Light portion is ...

Laser Doppler Velocimetry

Thermographic laser Doppler velocimetry.

We propose a point measurement technique for simultaneous gas temperature and velocity measurement based on thermographic phosphor particles dispersed in the fluid. The flow velocity is determined from the frequency of light scattered by BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ phosphor particles traversing the fringes like in conventional laser Doppler velocimetry. Flow temperatures are derived using a two-color rati...
