A constant-temperature heated-film anemometer system has been adapted for the detailed study of in-vivo aortic velocity fields. Two types of sensing probes were developed: a velocity probe and a velocity-gradient or fluid shear stress probe. These probes were evaluated for steady and pulsatile flow in rigid circular tubes using both a glycerin-water mixture and blood. Measurements using both de...

Instantaneous blood velocity measurements employing a constant temperature hot film anemometer were obtained in the region distal to externally enforced, subtotal vascular stenoses in the descending thoracic aortas of anesthetized dogs. Our objectives were to determine alterations in velocity waveforms and energy spectra as the degree of stenosis was increased. We paid particular attention to d...

Blood velocity measurements were carried out using a constant-temperature hot-film anemometer system in both anesthetized and conscious horses. Catheter probes were used to measure velocity wave forms in conscious horses and L-shaped needle probes inserted by direct vessel puncture were used to measure the profiles in regions of the thoracic and abdominal aorta of anesthetized, open-chest horse...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate how well patients with coronary stents accept combined coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) compared with conventional coronary angiography (CCA). BACKGROUND While combined CTA and CTP may improve diagnostic accuracy compared with CTA alone, patient acceptance of CTA/CTP remains to be defined. METHODS A total of 90 patients ...

Background: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) scan is a suitable imaging technique to evaluate the blood vessels. However, one major disadvantage is the potential risk of cancer related to ionizing radiation exposure during the procedures. The aim of this investigation was to estimate the risk of exposure induced cancer death (REID) values for some common computed tomography angiography (CT...

To improve the yield of titanium alloy, a certain amount TiO2 can be added to refining slag system Ti-bearing steel grades. With aim understanding effect addition on melting behaviors CaO-SiO2-30%Al2O3-5%MgO slags, points slags and phases in are herein studied at different temperatures laboratory. It is found that with increase content (0~10%) slag, point drops first, then rises. The basicity (...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the value of cerebral CT angiography (CTA) with low tube voltage in detection of intracranial aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 294 consecutive patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned into conventional voltage CTA (C-CTA) group and low voltage CTA (L-CTA) group. The ob...

The present work considers the turbulent air flow inside an annular high speed rotor-stator cavity opened to the atmosphere at the periphery. The interdisk-spacing is sufficiently large so that the boundary layers developed on each disk are separated and the flow belongs to the regime IV of Daily and Nece (1960). In such a system, the solid body rotation of the core predicted by Batchelor in ca...
