Abstract(in English) We have developed a method to measure local pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the aorta using an ultrasonic probe for noninvasive diagnosis in the early stage of arteriosclerosis.The local PWV is obtained form the distance and the transit delay time between two small vibration signals on the aortic wall.The transit time is calculated from the gradient of the phase characteristic of the transfer function.As basic experiments in this paper,we measure the propagation velocity of the small vibration on a silicone tube which is vibrated with a rectangle pulse.In these experiments,the transfer characteristic of the small vibration is measured in the higher frequency range until several hundred hertz.Since the resultant propagation velocity of small vibrations describes the elasticity of vessel's wall very well,this method will be useful for local diagnosis of arteriosclerosis.
