LASER DOPPLER FLOWMETRY

LASER DOPPLER FLOWMETRY

Ø  Non invasive , electro optical technique , allows for semiquantitative recording for blood flow

Ø  Incident laser beam of known wavelength is directed through crown of tooth  and Moving red blood cells cause frequency of laser beam to be shifted & some light to be back scattered out of tooth

Ø  Reflected light is detected by photocell on tooth surface the output of which is proportional to the number & velocity on moving red blood cells
