Detecting carotid stenosis from skin vibrations using Laser Doppler Vibrometry - An in vitro proof-of-concept.

Early detection of asymptomatic carotid stenosis may help identifying individuals at risk of stroke. We explore a new method based on laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV) which could allow the non-contact detection of stenosis from neck skin vibrations due to stenosis-induced flow disturbances. Experiment...
