Optimalizace měření rychlosti pulzní vlny v tepnách

Measurements of the pulse wave velocity (PWV) in human arteries are important for two different reasons: an early diagnostics of atherosclerosis and identification of material properties of the vessel wall for numerical simulations. The PWV in blood vessels is not constant and classical methods of pressure wave shift between two points are not sufficient. We consider three methods: optical measurements of vessel wall displacement in several points by high speed camera, continual optical measurements of vessel wall displacement by correlator Q-450 and measurements of flow rate and displacements by ultrasonic device. The first method can determine the PWV only between several points. The second method can show 3D reconstruction of displacements with very good resolution. The ultrasound measurements need combination of Doppler ultrasound velocimetry and B-scan imagining. However, the common devices used in medicine do not have any data output. It causes bad resolution.
