Show abstract
The functional status of vessels can be determined by assessing blood perfusion. By integrating diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF), the speed-resolved blood perfusion and blood oxygen saturation can be measured simultaneously by Enhanced Perfusion and Oxygen Saturation (EPOS). The dataset presented in this descriptor contains EPOS data recorded from a forearm point exposed to different levels of thermal stimulation, the classical LDF at control points, the R-R time series and data regarding characteristics of subjects. All data were recorded from 60 recruited healthy subjects. Half of the subjects received different levels of thermal stimulation, and half of them were blank controls. We believe that this dataset will lead to the development of local blood perfusion methods that can be used to index vessel function assessments. This publicly available dataset will be beneficial to the microcirculation evaluation.
