Method and Device for Determining Blood Flow in a Vascular Segment of a Patient
Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
This invention provides a method and device for determining blood flow within a vessel segment of a patient, factoring in the influence of gravity on the fluid (blood) in the vessel. It also includes a computer program that enables the described method when executed on a computer system.
Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
- Clinical diagnostics to measure and monitor blood flow in patients' vessels
- Assessment of blood circulation during surgeries or interventional procedures
- Research studies analyzing cardiovascular function under different gravitational conditions, such as space medicine
- Development of non-invasive imaging equipment for vascular health monitoring
BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
- Improved accuracy in blood flow measurement by considering gravitational effects
- Enhanced patient monitoring and diagnostics capabilities
- Potential for non-invasive and real-time blood flow assessment
- Better understanding of cardiovascular health, especially in non-standard gravity environments (e.g., space travel)

Patent Abstract
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung eines Blutflusses in einem Gefäßsegment eines Patienten (56), wobei erfindungsgemäß in die Bestimmung des Blutflusses eine Schwerkraft eingeht, wobei die Schwerkraft auf ein im Gefäßsegment befindliches Fluid wirkt. Weiter beschreibt die vorliegende Erfindung eine entsprechende Vorrichtung (100) zur Bestimmung eines Blutflusses in einem Gefäßsegment eines Patienten (56), sowie ein Computerprogramm (14), das eines der erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren durchführt, wenn es auf einem Rechenmittel (101) ausgeführt wird.
