Abstract
Hemodynamic influences in the development of atherosclerosis and other degenerative processes of the arterial walls are the subject of continued study (1–4). A new instrument has recently become available which permits the investigation of the flow conditions at some sites of predilection before and after the results of the degenerative processes can be observed. The instrument in question is a multichannel pulsed ultrasound Doppler velocity meter capable of recording noninvasively the instantaneous velocity profiles in larger vessels near the skin (5–10). The principle of operation of this instrument is illustrated in Fig. 1.
