Zusammenfassung:A method for monitoring blood vessels, the method including using a system for monitoring blood vessel functionality to look, listen and feel blood vessel functionality by imaging a patient's body to obtain blood vessel geometry, imaging a patient body to obtain a shape of a location of the patient's body using image analysis, and analyzing vibrations of the patient's body at a location of the patient's body which includes the blood vessels. A method for monitoring blood vessel functionality, the method including illuminating one or more blood vessels through a patient's skin, capturing at least one image of the blood vessels, analyzing the at least one image, and calculating a parameter associated with blood vessel functionality based upon the image analysis. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
