Abstract
Flowmeters which operate by coupling a field through a blood vessel and measuring resultant externally-available velocity-dependent variables are particularly attractive, since they are applicable in chronic animal preparations, in humans where a vessel is exposed at surgery, and conceivably through the unopened skin for measurement of flow through superficial vessels. Two types of flowmeter which operate in this way are the electro-magnetic induction flowmeter and the ultrasonic flowmeter. This paper will discuss the theoretical and practical applications and limitations of these, emphasizing the ultrasonic flow-measuring techniques, since excellent reviews and critical appraisals of electro-magnetic flowmeters are readily available in the literature.
