Development of Noninvasive Thrombus Detection System with Near-Infrared Laser and Photomultiplier for Artificial Hearts

As for artificial hearts generally used in short term, thrombus formation is still a serious issue. To realize effective medical treatment for patients with the artificial heart without increase of anticoagulant agent, it is essential to detect and even predict thrombus formations. The purpose of this study is to develop a noninvasive thrombus detection system for artificial hearts.
