Abstract
For modelling tissue and organ perfusion blood cell and flow characteristics, like viscosity, blood cell transport and interaction are important parameters. To study these parameters in-vitro a laser Doppler velocity- and concentration meter was developed using a standard personal computer. The high spatial resolution (7*7*20 μm) of the system allowed high precision measurements of velocity and concentration of blood cells in artificial vascular structures.
