Zusammenfassung:An apparatus may include a platen, a light source system and an ultrasonic receiver system. The platen may be configured to separate one or more received arterial ultrasonic waves generated by blood in an artery, by an arterial wall, or by a combination thereof, from one or more other types of received ultrasonic waves. The platen may have an outer surface with an acoustic impedance that is configured to approximate the acoustic impedance of human skin. The outer surface of the platen may be configured to conform to a surface of the human skin. The apparatus may include a noise reduction system. The light source system may include at least one multi-junction laser diode. The apparatus may include a mirror layer residing between the ultrasonic receiver system and the platen.
