    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Tissue dimension changes correlate with blood content shifts.
    • Limb plethysmography measures these changes using ultrasonic dimension gauges.
    • Existing internal transducers are unsuitable for limb plethysmography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and construct novel ultrasonic transducers specifically for limb plethysmography.
    • To evaluate the performance characteristics of these new transducers.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of specialized ultrasonic dimension gauge transducers.
    • Incorporation of rugged external housing for attachment.
    • Utilized double-sided adhesive collars for calf placement.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved good signal quality with minimal transducer placement effort.
    • Demonstrated suitability for limb plethysmography applications.
    • Transducers are easily attachable to the calf.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed transducers are effective for limb plethysmography.
    • These transducers offer improved performance and ease of use compared to existing methods.
    • Facilitates accurate, non-invasive measurement of limb blood volume changes.
