This invention relates to a method and devices for detection, localization and characterization of occlusions, aneurysms, wall characteristics and vascular bed. The invention is based on introducing an artificial pressure or flow excitation signal (a single signal or more) into the blood vessel (or in other tubular flowing fluid conduits), measurement and analysis of the pressure and or flow. The invention discloses a method and devices for detection and characterization of partial or total occlusion or aneurysm in blood vessels or in other tubular flowing fluid conduits within a body, such as urine flow in the urethra.
An apparatus for detecting, locating and characterizing changes in a tubular conduit system within a living body for transferring fluids, said apparatus comprising:
A processor apparatus for detecting, locating and characterizing changes in a tubular conduit system within a living body for transferring fluids for use with a signal generator configured to transmit into said tubular conduit a probe signal that changes in response to encountering changes in said tubular conduit system and a signal sensor operative to receive said probe signal following transmission into said tubular conduit system, said processor apparatus comprising:
A method for using a computer to detect, locate and characterize changes in a tubular conduit system within a living body for transfer fluids wherein said computer is operatively connected to a signal generator configured to transmit into said tubular conduit a probe signal that changes in response to encountering changes in said tubular conduit system and a signal sensor operative to receive said probe signal following transmission into said tubular conduit system, said method comprising the steps of:
