Measurement of flow-mediated dilatation using near-infrared transmission images of finger blood vessels (Comparison with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity)

Arterial endothelial function is known as a factor that correlates with progression of arteriosclerosis. This is measured by flowmediated dilatation (FMD) testing. This test is performed by measuring the brachial artery diameter with an ultrasound system or by measuring digital pulse volumes. Techni...
