Doppler-shifted ultrasound units (1974-1981) jointly developed by Dr.Brian Coghlan and Prof.Ray Gosling's Blood Flow Group at the Physics Dept., Guy's Hospital Medical School, London. These early devices were used for haemodynamic assessment of normal volunteers and assessment of patients with peripheral vascular disease. The work reflects a close and extensive collaboration with Dr.Graeme Taylor.





Automated Plethysmograph and Doppler Test Unit
A combined automatic plethysmograph and automatic calibration system for Doppler-shifted ultrasound units. This work was done jointly with Dr.M.G.Taylor at Guy's Hospital Medical School, and was funded by the Wellcome Trust.

Direction Processor
A frequency and phase domain processor for directional Doppler units. These boards were manufactured by Sonicaid Ltd. for use in their BV380 directional Doppler-shift velocimeter. This work was done jointly with Dr.M.G.Taylor at Guy's Hospital Medical School, and was funded by the Wellcome Trust.

Autograph Mk.II
An improved digitiser/processor for computing results derived from the Spectrascribe Mk.I and Spectrascribe Mk.II analysers. This work was done jointly with Dr.M.G.Taylor at Guy's Hospital Medical School, and was funded by the Wellcome Trust.

Time Domain Analyser
A dual-channel time-domain spectrum analyser for Doppler-shifted ultrasound from blood vessels. This work was done jointly with Dr.M.G.Taylor at Guy's Hospital Medical School, and was funded by the Wellcome Trust.
[Journ11] Coghlan,B.A., Taylor,M.G., and Gosling,R.G. (1981)

Spectrascribe Mk.III
A further improved dual-channel realtime time-compression spectrum analyser for Doppler-shifted ultrasound from blood vessels, with a raster display, and a built-in computer with floppy-disk storage, and the functions of the
Autograph Mk.II. This work was done jointly with Dr.M.G.Taylor at Guy's Hospital Medical School, was unfunded, and as a result was never completed. [1978]

Spectrascribe Mk.II
An improved dual-channel realtime time-compression spectrum analyser for Doppler-shifted ultrasound from blood vessels. This work was done jointly with Dr.M.G.Taylor at Guy's Hospital Medical School, and was funded by the Wellcome Trust. These diagnostic systems were manufactured by BOC Medishield.
[Journ7] Coghlan,B.A. and Taylor,M.G. (1979)

Spectrascribe Mk.1
A dual-channel realtime time-compression spectrum analyser for Doppler-shifted ultrasound from blood vessels. This work was done jointly with Dr.M.G.Taylor at Guy's Hospital Medical School, and was funded by the Wellcome Trust.
[Journ2] Coghlan,B.A., Taylor,M.G., and King,D.H. (1974)

Transit-Time Machine
An instrument for detecting the propagation delay (transit-time) of blood flow along an artery by measuring the onset of systoli at each end of the artery, as described by the outputs of two Doppler-shifted ultrasound velocimeters. This work was done jointly with D.H.King at Guy's Hospital Medical School, and was funded by the Wellcome Trust.
