  • Instrument and method for locating and marking a hot spot in a person's body tissue
    Patent number: 6464646
    Abstract: A portable passive instrument (10) and a method for locating and marking at least one area of a person's body tissue, such as a vein, having a local variation in temperature compared with surrounding body tissue. The temperature along at least a line of skin within a region of the body tissue is scanned so as to obtain discrete signals representative of respective temperatures of discrete portions along an unstimulated portion of the at least a line of skin. The resulting signals are analyzed so as to derive a temperature profile in order to determine the at least one area having local temperature variation, which is then marked either optically or by means of a pigment.
