The ability to measure blood flow directly and continuously is of significant interest in many
medical specialities. In cardiology, these measurements can be of critical importance to …

Direct and continuous measurements of blood flow are of significant interest in many
medical specialties. In cardiology, intravascular physiological measurements can be of …

Percutaneous coronary interventions are widely performed minimally invasive procedures
used to treat narrowing (stenosis) of arteries in the heart. Differential blood pressure …

A novel design and assembly technology is developed for a three-dimensional (3-D) flexible
thermal flow sensor based on convective heat transfer to reduce detection error caused by …

To accurately assess the severity of coronary artery disease, intracoronary pressure and
flow measurements are required. In this paper, a novel flexible flow sensor, intended to be …

Fibre optic sensors are well suited to measuring fluid flow in many contexts, and recently
there has been burgeoning interest in their application to direct, invasive measurement of …

This paper presents a miniature fiber optic sensor for intravascular blood temperature
measurements. Based on the Fabry–Perot interferometric principle, the sensor is fabricated …

The vessels of the coronary circulation are prone to arteriosclerotic disease, which can lead
to the development of obstructions to blood flow. The conventional way to diagnose the …

A small fiber-optic sensor capable of measuring three parameters (temperature, pressure,
and flow) is described. This sensor combines three destinct technologies and yet uses a …

Infrared thermography has been proved to be a useful tool to detect thermal physiologic
changes associated with various diseases. However, static and single point temperature …
