Skin tissue perfusion mapping triggered by an audio-(de)modulated reference signal.

Spatial mapping of skin perfusion provides essential information about physiological processes that are often hidden from the eyes of the examining physician. The perfusion map quality depends on several key factors, such as the camera system type, frame rate, sensitivity, or signal-to-noise ratio. When investigating physiological parameters, the reference signal allows for increasing the spatial resolution of the photoplethysmography imaging (PPGI) system.
