Poiseulles law states that the flow rate in a long, straight tube with laminar flow is proportional to its length and viscosity and inversely proportional to the fourth power of its radius. See also Proportionality Constant. •
Blood volume per time measured in: cm3/s. The sonographic detection of blood flow in vascular ultrasound is limited by factors such as tissue motion (clutter), attenuation properties of the intervening tissue, and slow or low-volume flow. Different flow types in human body:
•
Behaves like stationary tissue = stagnant flow.
•
Flow with consistent velocities across a vessel = laminar flow.
•
Laminar flow passes through a stricture or stenosis (in the center fast flow, near the walls the flow spirals) = vortex flow.
•
Flow at different velocities that fluctuates = turbulent flow.

The flow rate describes the volume of fluid passing through a given vessel per time unit. The flow rate is measured in milliliters per second ml/sec or liters per minute l/min. See also Poiseulles Law. Result Pages : |
