Radial dispersion of red blood cells in blood flowing through glass capillaries: the role of hematocrit and geometry

The flow properties of blood in the microcirculation depend strongly on the hematocrit (Hct), microvessel geometry, and cell properties. Previous in vitro studies have measured the radial displacement of red blood cells (RBCs) at concentrated suspensions using conventional microscopes. However, to m...
