Determination of Arterial Blood Flow by Percutaneously Introduced Flow Sensors in an External Magnetic Field, II. Implementation of the Method In Vivo*

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Blood flow in a dog's aorta has been measured by percutaneous introduction of a flow sensor. Two types of flow probes have been used in conjunction with an external magnetic field: Loop-shaped probes used as rate of volume-flow meters and L-shaped probes as velometers. Methods of calibration and establishing the base line are discussed, and the performance of the apparatus is illustrated by records of blood flow in the thoracic and abdominal regions of the aorta.
