Abstract
The design of a combined catheter-tip gauge for measuring vessel diameter and flow velocity in the aorta or vena cava of intact dogs is presented. Both transducers use the principle of a linear variable differential transformer. Static and dynamic tests demonstrate that the gauge is quite capable of correctly recording diameter and flow pulsations.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
