Abstract

Three major diseases (cancer, heart failure, and apoplexy) account for about half of the cause of death in Japan. Therefore, the monitor by a daily inspection and the diagnosis to do earlier detection and treatment smoothly is necessary and indispensable. Especially, it is a technology that is paid attention that visualizes the inside of the blood vessel of the heart and brain that cannot be obtained from the outside immediately.From the above-mentioned background, we are accomplishing the experiment concerning the development of the blood vessel imaging system using reflection / absorption / fluorescence of near-infrared radiation that has the living body permeability (700-1400 nm). Concretely, the experiment to understand the optimum conditions of the vascular imaging was conducted with super-high luminance LED and cooling CMOS camera. As a result of experiment, it turned out the vascular imaging that the blood flow volume and quantities of light greatly influenced.
