“…For example, penetration depth values can range between 90 µm for blue light (= 400 nm) and 1.6 mm for NIR radiation ( = 1000 nm). As a consequence, veins may be visualized even if they are a few mm below the surface [12]. Image contrast is due to a combination of NIR scattering in the tissue and absorption by hemoglobin in the blood vessels.…”

“…Image contrast is due to a combination of NIR scattering in the tissue and absorption by hemoglobin in the blood vessels. This phenomenon has been applied [12] to enhance localization of subsurface blood vessels needed for blood withdrawal from small children. The blood vessels were usually located at depths from 1 to several mm and the method worked successfully in hands or wrists and also at the inside of the elbow of children.…”

“…The aortic pressure and common carotid artery diameter waveforms were determined and pressure area curves were described using dual exponential analytical model [3]. Vasculuminator, a device for obtaining access to blood vessels based on transillumination with near infrared light was developed [4]. It is pretty much effective for safe and effective visualisation of subsurface blood vessels to facilitate blood withdrawal in children.…”

“…A more detailed laboratory-based assessment of the effectiveness of all three of these commercial devices for enhancing blood vessel visualization was recently explored by Cuper et al 8 for facilitating blood withdrawal in children. This study provided the first direct comparison between systems using transmission and reflection measurement geometries, as represented schematically in figures 1a and 1b.…”

“…Thus transmission measurements have the advantage of greater sensitivity to the presence of a vessel, but the significant disadvantage that for large thicknesses of tissue (> few centimeters), the transmitted signal may not be measurable. The three commercial systems were compared quantitatively by Cuper et al 8 using measurements on both tissueequivalent phantoms and paediatric patients. The performance was found to be comparable for all three devices for a simulated vessel of 1 mm diameter at all depths.…”
