Project Overview

In order to accurately measure internal blood pressures, a properly calibrated pressure sensitive cardiovascular catheter may be used. Current techniques for calibrating the catheter are in question, which causes concern about the validity of the test results. This project aims to devise a testing system which more reliably calibrates and verifies the accuracy of the catheter in both atmospheric and internal bodily conditions.
