Blood pressure refers to the blood flow and resistance in the arteries. The device used to measure blood pressure is the sphygmomanometer or sphygmometer.
Blood flows away from the heart and is measured as blood pressure. This is a measure of the passage or flow and the resistance of the flow in the arteries.

blood flow is called circulation
Circulation of the blood
Doppler imaging, such as in ultrasound or in a handheld device, is used to measure blood speed. This process can be used to measure, for instance, blood flow through leg arteries, or blood flow through the placenta.
Doppler ultrasonography uses what is called the Doppler effect to measure the rate and direction of blood flow in the vessels.
A sudden reduction in blood flow is called ischemia. This can lead to tissue damage or even cell death if blood flow is not restored promptly.
This technique is a form of Doppler measurement referred to as Blood Flow Imaging (BFI). It can indicate blood flow directionally in addition to measuring velocity.
