May support noninvasive peripheral flow research; leaves open clinical adoption without prospective validation.
Does the transcutaneous Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter reliably measure peripheral arterial blood flow compared to an electromagnetic flowmeter?
The direction-sensitive transcutaneous Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter is a reliable and noninvasive tool for the semiquantitative assessment of peripheral arterial blood flow.
Eugene F. Bernstein (1970) studied this question.
