Abstract
A technique is disclosed for determining blood flow in a living body by changing the thermal energy level in the venous blood flow path and determining temperatures in both the venous and arterial blood flow paths. Blood flow is calculated as a function of the change in energy level and the temperature differences in the venous and arterial blood flow paths.
