Abstract
By examining the simultaneous evolution of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in NIRS image time series, we have derived indices of the competency of autoregulation. Applying these measures to data collected from the forearms of type II diabetics and normal subjects reveals statistically significant differences between the two patient populations. While some of the analyses involve application of a transient ischemia protocol, others consider only resting baseline data.
