摘要:
A blood flow measuring apparatus includes a sensor unit including a light emitter configured to emit light onto a measurement area and a light receiver configured to receive the light transmitted through the measurement area; at least one more light receiver configured to receive the light transmitted through the measurement area; and a control part configured to measure a blood flow state of the measurement area according to signals outputted by the light receivers. The light emitted by the light emitter is received by the light receivers arranged at different distances from the light emitter and the light receivers output the signals responsive to the received light. The control part measures the blood flow state of the measurement area by performing an arithmetic process to cancel a component of oxygen saturation in the blood, said component being included in the signals outputted by the light receivers.

The blood vessel characteristics measuring apparatus 100 includes a blood flow measuring unit 20 held at a position opposed to a skin surface 10 of a measurement region of a subject, an optical sensor unit 30 housed in the blood flow measuring unit 20, an electrocardiograph 40, and a controller 50. The controller 50 includes a blood flow measuring part 60, a blood vessel displacement deriving part 70, and a blood vessel condition deriving part 80. The blood flow measuring part 60 measures the displacements of a blood vessel and tissues around the blood vessel caused by a blood flow based on light intensity at the time of receiving light emitted from a light-emitting part 32 of the sensor unit 30 in light-receiving parts 34 and 36. The blood vessel displacement deriving part 70 derives the wall of the blood vessel 12 based on the displacements of the blood vessel and tissues around the blood vessel. The blood vessel condition deriving part 80 determines pulse wave velocity at each measurement position based on a phase difference between the waveform of the electrocardiographic signal of the electrocardiograph 40 and a detection signal waveform obtained from the light-receiving parts 34 and 36, and derives the condition of the displacement of the wall of the blood vessel 12 from the pulse wave velocity.
