BLOOD FLOW AERONAUTICS RESEARCH THROMBOSIS – ITALY, GERMANY, GREECE STUDY
November 1st, 2005
BY ALAN OSBORNAIR travel may give you thrombosis but sometimes it can also deliver real gains to medical science. A group of European scientists has discovered an odd fact: that air passing over an aircraft's wing to give it lift behaves like blood circulating in a human body when it meets an implanted device. In other words you can use aeronautic techniques instead of ultrasound scans, animal experimentation or other traditional methods to monitor blood flow.The principle has been used in the SMART-PIV project - in Genoa, Italy - by engineering consultancy ...
