Abstract
A Doppler velocimeter includes an illumination system for illuminating a blood vessel with a light beam, a detector for detecting Doppler-shifted scattered light produced from blood flowing in the blood vessel, and a processor for obtaining a blood flow velocity by analyzing a signal from said detector. The processor compares an actual power spectrum obtained by frequency-analyzing the signal with a theoretical power spectrum obtained using a frequency as a parameter while changing the parameter.
