In this article a number of whole-field blood velocity measurement techniques are concisely
reviewed. We primarily focus on optical measurement techniques for in vivo applications …

Essential hypertension is a complex multifactorial disease process that involves the
interaction of multiple genes at various loci throughout the genome, and the influence of …

To measure erythrocyte deformability in vitro, we made transparent microchannels on a
crystal substrate as a capillary model. We observed axisymmetrically deformed erythrocytes …

Progress in microfabricated technologies has attracted the attention of researchers in
several areas, including microcirculation. Microfluidic devices are expected to provide …

The measurement of blood-plasma velocity distributions with spatial and temporal resolution
in vivo is inevitable for the determination of shear stress distributions in complex geometries …

As endothelial cells are subject to flow shear stress, it is important to determine the detailed
velocity distribution in microvessels in the study of mechanical interactions between blood …

This paper describes a new high-speed micro PIV technique for measuring both red blood
cell velocity and plasma velocity to investigate rheology of blood flow in microcirculation …

Laser velocimetry, often referred to as laser anemometry and laser flowmetry and also
known by some other names which will be used below, is a set of laser techniques designed …

Scientists and clinicians have a keen interest in studying not just the structure of
physiological systems, but their motion also, or more generally their form and function. This …

We have developed a novel cross‐correlation technique to probe quasi‐stationary flow of
fluorescent signals in live cells at a spatial resolution that is close to single particle tracking …
