GUIDELINES FOR MEASUREMENT OF CUTANEOUS BLOOD-FLOW BY LASER-DOPPLER FLOWMETRY - A REPORT FROM THE STANDARDIZATION GROUP OF THE EUROPEAN-SOCIETY-OF-CONTACT-DERMATITIS
A. Bircher et al., GUIDELINES FOR MEASUREMENT OF CUTANEOUS BLOOD-FLOW BY LASER-DOPPLER FLOWMETRY - A REPORT FROM THE STANDARDIZATION GROUP OF THE EUROPEAN-SOCIETY-OF-CONTACT-DERMATITIS, Contact dermatitis, 30(2), 1994, pp. 65-72
The report reviews individual-related variables (age, sex, race, anato
mical site), intra- and interindividual variation (temporal, physical
and mental activity, food and drugs), and environment-related variable
s (air convection, temperature). Technical variation, instrument valid
ation including a standard reactive hyperemia experiment, and a standa
rd operating procedure are discussed and included in the guidelines. (
