A system and method for detection and characterization of stenosis, blood vessels flow and vessel walls properties using vessel geometrical measurements

摘要

The invention discloses a method and devices for determining volume flow, blood velocity profile, artery wall properties of a tubular conduit system and stenosis identification and localization by introducing an artificial pressure or flow excitation signal (a single signal or multiple signals) into the blood vessel (or in any other tubular flowing fluid conduits), and or using natural heart beat signals measurement and analysis of the vessel wall displacements or vessel diameter changes.
