Laser specklometry and IR imaging in a study of microhemodynamics of skin in patients with neurological manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis

摘要

Results are presented of the study of the cutaneous blood flow in patients with neurological manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis with the help of a laser specklometer developed by the present authors. Comparative analyses of the present data with the results of IR examination and dermatothermometry has shown a great informative value of speckle-optical indices. Dynamic of the cutaneous blood flow in patients corresponded to the change in the high-frequency fluctuations spectra. In the zones of prevailing innervation of the affected radix a decrease in the average frequency of the spectrogram was observed, which reflects a decrease in the cutaneous blood flow intensity in this region.
