A pair of very small biopotential electrodes is attached to the housing and rest against the wall
of blood vessel to pick up the induced potential. The flow-induced voltage is an AC voltage
at the same frequency as the excitation voltage. Utilizing AC method instead of DC excitation
could help to remove any offset potential error due to the contact between the vessel wall and
the biopotential electrodes.
Certainly, ultrasonic wave could be also used to detect blood flow of artery. In biomedical
application, there are four kinds of ultrasonic wave blood flow sensors according to specific
sensing principle and methods: (1) pulse time difference; (2) voice beam deflection; (3) phase
shift; (4) Doppler frequency shift. Readers could research biomedical engineering handbook
to learn more information.
