METHOD OF ESTIMATING MICROVASCULATURE CONDITION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B5/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: non-invasive examination of vessels is performed by means of a probe, installed on the skin surface in the projection of a vessel, by a method of optic coherent (OC) tomography, tomograms, obtained without compression test and OC tomograms under conditions of the compression test by the displacement of tissues by the probe by 1 mm towards the visualised vessel, are analysed. Compressibility of the vessel, tissues and formations and uniformity of the vessel configuration change under compression are estimated on the images. If a non-uniform and/or incomplete compressibility and a non-uniformity of the vessel configuration change are detected, microangiopathy is identified.

EFFECT: method ensures the high accuracy and objectivity of non-invasive diagnostics of the condition of microvasculature, in particular, the presence of intra-vascular formations, including differential diagnostics of vasculopathy due to the identification of particular criteria for the determination of pathological changes.
