Abstract | This paper presents undergoing research results of a near infrared CCD imaging system designed for mapped acquisition of hemodynamics data with inexpensive system components. This system is intended for use by clinicians and in phenological practice. The tests that can currently be done with this system are the classical Muscle Pump Test (MPT) and the Vein Occlusion Test (VOT). These are standard tests for venous disorders such as chronic vein insufficiency (CVI) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Photoplethysmographic (PPG) systems with NIR optical sensors are in wide use for these tests today. They essentially measure the blood volume changes in the top skin layers by registering the attenuation change in the near infrared. The new principle is based on this method but allows imaging of the vein structure as well as mapping the physiological data to the image. A monochrome CCD camera equipped with a >700 nm filter is mounted on a tripod. A diffuse illumination is applied, then the test is performed. The camera takes a sequence of pictures of the perfusion area of interest, usually the lower leg. The sequence is then evaluated and filtered with digital filter algorithms. This allows calculation of parameters such as venous refilling time, venous pump power and venous drainage. These values are offered to the examiner as mapped data from several selectable regions. From this, conclusions can be taken as to the reason and location of disorders. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
