Abstract :
Laser Doppler (LD) flowmetry was successfully applied to study inner ear microcirculation using experimental animals. Effects to cochlear blood flow, systemic blood pressure and skin blood flow are discussed. A technical problem of laser Doppler flowmetry, especially during Its application to a vibrating scattering target, are also discussed.
