Abstract
Vascular Imaging is one of the latest medical Imaging techniques researched today. Now a day’s very few devices based on the IR technique have been implemented & researched there is strong demand to develop such devices. While the concept behind the IR imaging is simple, there are various challenges to be found throughout the design and implementation of a device concerning the illumination system, image acquisition system & the image processing algorithms at a very low price. The major problem faced by the doctors today is difficulty in accessing veins for intra-venous drug delivery & other medical situation. Blood clots, bruises, rashes, etc. occurs due to improper detection of veins. That’s why a non-invasive subcutaneous vein detection system has been developed success-fully based on near IR imaging and interfaced to a laptop to make it portable. A customized webcam (CCD camera) is used for capturing the vein images and Computer Software module (MATLAB) is used for the processing. This system also has application in treatment of varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, vascular ailments & also in the area of finger vein pattern recognition & biometric applications.
