  • Telemetric Sensing of Blood Flow Rates by Passive Infrared Temperature Sensing
    Publication number: 20140005554
    Abstract: Systems enable a method of determining the rate of flow of a bodily fluid through a vessel in a live patient by: positioning at least two separate passive infrared sensors at two points along a length of the vessel; sensing local temperature changes at the two points along the vessel to generate signals of the local temperature changes from each passive infrared sensor; a processor receiving the signals and quantifying the local temperature changes at the two points; and the processor executing code to determine blood flow rate in the vessel from the local temperature changes quantified by the processor at the two points.
