description

Human skin may reflect health conditions. Important and possibly diagnostically potent components of microcirculation are slow flow oscillations-flowmotions, however there is a lack of studies in this field. The present pilot study was devoted to evaluation of multispectral imaging photoplethysmography in determination of different components of flowmotions. Eight subjects were enrolled for the study. During resting conditions video was captured from dorsal aspect of hand at seven different wavelength and flowmotion analysis performed. Results indicate that at the resting conditions neurogenic component along with endothelial are dominant regardless of wavelength, while myogenic has the lowest spectral power. Results confirm the potential of multispectral photoplethysmography for cutaneous flowmotion detection.
