NIR finger vascular system imaging in angiology applications

Abstract

Nowadays, in the age of technological development in various areas of life there is a growing interest in non-invasive techniques useful in medical examination. Angiology also called vascular medicine is a medical specialty with interest of diseases and disabilities of the human circulatory system. This domain uses different types of imaging. The acquired images are used for research, diagnostic, therapeutic or educational purposes. Different wavelengths and frequencies are used in the design of medical apparatus. In this paper the usability of near infrared light imaging is discussed and case studies of medical examinations are presented. There is a new approach with range area of applications in angiology.
