A computerized method for processing of spectrally analysed Doppler-shifted signals from insonated arteries
Abstract:
A microcomputer-based technique is described for processing blood-velocity signals after they have been spectrally analysed. The system consists of a real-time dual channel spectrum analyser interfaced to a BBC model B microcomputer. The microcomputer is programmed to store and display in real-time spectral information received from the analyser. Stored sonograms can be readily retrieved from memory on request and displayed on the microcomputer's TV-monitor for viewing and/or subsequent numerate interogation. The proposed system is software controlled and is therefore both versatile and expandable, enabling accommodation of future sonagram processing methods and new diagnostic parameters.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
