Abstract

Distributed parameter arterial tree model, based on transmission line theory is proposed. Adequacy of the model is confirmed using noninvasive "in vivo" ultrasound Doppler images. Ultrasound measurements in three characteristic locations of human arterial tree are performed. Comprised model enables to acquire typical blood flow time functions in 40 arteries. Parameters of the model are related to relevant geometrical and mechanical arteries properties. The model can be used in the research into the influence of blood vessel mechanical parameters on the form of flow time function as well as when estimating possibilities of diagnostics of blood flow system lesion.
