Continuous flow phantom for the calibration of an ultrasonic transit-time flowmeter

Abstract: Introduction: Ultrasound Transit-Time flowmeters are based on the fact that the time required for an ultrasound pulse to propagate through a given distance in a moving medium is a function of the vectorial sum of pulse propagation velocity and medium velocity. The most common application of this flowmeter in medicine is in the evaluation of blood flow in arteries and veins during heart vascular surgery. The present article describes the design, construction and evaluation of a flow phantom for transit-time flo… Show more

“…The theoretical and experimental resistance values are compatible with literature [7]. As the theoretical resistance values of a R are smaller when compared to c R , it can be assumed the influence of the accessories on flow resistance is minimum, so the flow tends to be laminar in the phantom.…”

“…The dimension and flow rate values on phantom are compatible with brachial artery [2][3]. The pressure values on the phantom were compatible with similar models of literature [6][7]. This work aims to improve the experimental models for studying the heating pattern in biological tissues, especially therapeutic ultrasound safety tests.…”
