indicator dilution method
- indicator dilution method
- any of several methods for assessing flow through the circulatory system by injection of a known quantity of an indicator, such as a dye, radionuclide, or chilled liquid, into the system and monitoring its concentration over time at a specific point in the system. See also dye dilution m. and thermodilution.
