    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biophysics
    • Cardiovascular Research

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of localized blood flow is crucial for diagnosing circulatory diseases.
    • Existing methods may lack the real-time, localized precision required for detailed analysis of microcirculation.
    • Understanding blood flow dynamics in extremities is key to managing conditions like Raynaud's phenomenon.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and validate a novel method for real-time, localized blood flow measurements in human fingers.
    • To assess the method's capability in differentiating normal and abnormal blood circulation.
    • To investigate the influence of the autonomic nervous system on digital blood flow.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of a novel real-time, localized flow measurement technique.
    • Measurement of arterial and venous blood flow in healthy subjects and patients.
    • Simulation of experimental signals using a pulsatile flow model system.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated visualization of arterial and venous blood flow in human fingers.
    • Successfully identified arterial strictures in a patient with Raynaud's phenomenon.
    • Observed effects of autonomic nervous system regulation on blood flow.
    • Achieved quantitative simulation of pulsatile flow signals.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel method enables real-time, localized assessment of digital blood flow.
    • This technique shows potential for diagnosing circulatory abnormalities, including arterial strictures.
    • The method's accuracy is limited by calibration factors, with a relative error of approximately +/- 25%.
