Abstract
Investigation of vascular dynamics is a new direction for optical tomography. In this report we discuss the physiological basis of vascular reactivity and the types of information that may be derived by applying time-series analysis methods to image data. By example, we also present an overview of results from physiological studies reported in more detail in accompanying reports. These include the real-time vascular response of the forearm to local and centrally mediated stimuli examined in a cross-sectional view.
