ON THE APPLICABILITY OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF BLOOD FLOW RATE

STUDIES ON THE FLOW PATTERN IN THE PERIPHERAL ARTERY I

Abstract

The electromagnetic flowmeter is calibrated in experiments in vitro and in vivo by means of the known flow, stationary or rapidly changing, and it is shown that the electromagnetic method for recording blood flow is sufficiently suitable for use. Some doubts suggested by Shipley et al. do not seem to require special consideration.
