Arterial blood-flow waveform measurement in intact animals: new digital radiographic technique

DK Swanson, PD Myerowitz, JO Hegge and KM Watson

With a new radiographic method to determine the pulsatile flow pattern in an imaged artery, flow velocity is determined by tracking the movement of contrast material along the artery over time. Flow velocity is multiplied by an automatically determined cross-sectional area of the artery to determine blood flow. Pulsatile blood-flow waveforms were determined by radiographic and electromagnetic techniques in each femoral artery of four dogs while flow conditions were varied. Peak and average blood flows measured by the two techniques were highly correlated (r = .97 and .95, respectively). The closest agreement between the flow waveforms measured by the electromagnetic and radiographic techniques was found under normal flow conditions. The radiographically derived flow waveforms tended to be noisy at low blood- flow rates, and instantaneous blood-flow rates exceeding 700 ml/min were underestimated.
