BLOOD FLOW MEASUREMENT

Blood

is a specialized connective tissue in fluid form that flows through the entire

body of a person or animal. Blood flow is the continuous circulation of blood through the cardiovascular system to body tissues and organs. An adequate

amount of blood supply is necessary for the proper functioning of all body

organs. This is vital as the blood carries and supplies body tissues and organs

with its daily metabolic requirements while it also gets rid of any waste

arising from tissue metabolism. Various diseases impair supply of blood to the

organs. Hence the measurement of the blood flow can therefore provide essential

information for the diagnosis of diseases. Since changes in blood flow occurs

with the very initial stage of disease, therefore with a fast, reliable and

non-invasive blood flow measurement technique, the physicians would be provided

with new options for early disease diagnosis.
