Abstract

The study aims to measure and analyze the thickness and depth of blood vessel on the pulse diagnosis locations (CHON, KWAN, CHUCK) and the blood velocity through the use of ultrasonic waves (LOGIQ5PRO, GE Medical, U.S.) in order to understand the structural difference of pulse diagnosis locations. The subjects included 44 healthy men and women (22.28±2.62 age) considered normal in terms of Body Mass Index (BMI). The thickness and depth of the blood vessel and the blood velocity were measured three times on CHON, KWAN and CHUCK to obtain the average value.
