A novel millimeter-wave radar system using nonlinear signal analysis can accurately monitor blood flow velocity and vessel diameter, showing high concordance with commercial ultrasound.
Preliminary radar vital-sign extraction shows technical feasibility; leaves open clinical validation for cardiovascular use.
Due to the advantages of millimeter-wave radar, such as its relatively simple structure, small size, high sensitivity, etc., it is used to obtain the human pulse signal and blood flow signal. Using the methods of mean cancellation, phase differencing, and smoothing, static clutter removal and heartbeat signal enhancement can be achieved, which can effectively eliminate interference information. Based on the collected information, the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and boundary conditions are determined, and the theoretical knowledge related to fluid mechanics and bioengineering is used to construct the model of the multidimensional blood monitoring system, and the nonlinear signal analysis method is used to analyze the application of the constructed model. Based on the data, there is only a 0.1% difference between the waveform of the blood vessel diameter measured by the multidimensional blood monitoring system and that of the blood vessel diameter tested by commercial ultrasound equipment. The waveform trend is also consistent. In addition, the blood flow velocity at point 5 was much greater than that at point 2, when the vessel stenosis exceeded 50%. This study can accurately and efficiently monitor blood flow velocity for single and multiple individuals, which is critical for the healthcare field's development and innovation.
