Medical Definition:	A method of non-invasive, continuous measurement of microcirculation. The technique is based on the values of the Doppler effect of low-power laser light scattered randomly by static structures and moving tissue particulates.
Guide Notes:	measurement of Doppler eff of laser light in microcirc studies & diag; index laser velocimeters & Doppler velocimeters here with /instrum & do not coord with LASERS or DOPPLER EFFECT
Also Called:	Velocimetry, Laser-Doppler
Previously Indexed:	Doppler Effect (1975-1992),Lasers (1966-1992)
