title = "Cochlear blood flow: Measurement techniques",
abstract = "The measurement of inner ear blood flow and other microvascular variables is subject to unique technical problems which are compounded by methodological limitations. As a result, the interpretation of experimental results is often difficult. This report discusses the most important methods currently available for cochlear blood circulation measurements and the technical problems associated with their use. The use of a combination of measurements to resolve problems of interpretation is stressed. An extensive review of the pertinent literature is provided in relation to each method.",

note = "Funding Information: To focus on the measurements that are required and the problems that may be faced in their pursuit, we begin with the following general statement of intent: Our purpose is to investigate the physiology of cochlear blood circulation, its control, its functional capacity for cochlear homeostasis, and, ultimately, its particular pathophysiology. Our efforts will be complicated by the relatively inaccessible arte- Received May 30, 1988, from Kresge Hearing Research Institute, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
