[Computer-assisted measurement of biomechanical values exemplified by the renovascular system].

The high innovation in electronics and measuring techniques has influenced the development of medical equipment. The progressive miniaturization of integrated circuits yields in an increased possibility of functions with the respective technical equipments. Therewith also in medical technology more universal equipments are available. Unfortunately the development of sensors did not match the development rate in microelectronics. Hence computer-aided measuring (indirect measuring) becomes more and more important, to pick up normally non-measurable biomechanical quantities, which will be shown for the case study of the renovascular system.
