BLOOD VESSEL ENDOTHELIUM REACTION MEASURING INSTRUMENT AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BLOOD VESSEL ENDOTHELIUM REACTION MEASURING INSTRUMENT

摘要

A blood vessel endothelium reaction measuring instrument comprises an avascularizing section (2) for avascularize an arterial vessel of an organism, a measuring section (4) for measuring the shape characteristic of the arterial vessel or the vessel wall, and a control section (3) for controlling the avascularizing section to repeat avascularization and its cancellation of the arterial vessel periodically two or more times. The measuring section (4) measures the shape characteristic during at least a part of the period for which the avascularization of the arterial vessel is canceled and processes the data on the shape characteristic during the part of the period using the cycle of the avascularization and its cancellation.
