New technique for parallel recording of reflection photoplethysmography signals in broad spectral band (violet to NIR) has been developed based on fiber-coupled laser irradiation and time-resolved spectrometric detection. Differences in photoplethysmography waveforms that were recorded simultaneously at different wavelengths confirmed the depth variety of the skin blood pulsation dynamics, thus the proposed methodology has a potential for application in skin microcirculation studies.

For mapping the bilirubin distribution in bruised skin the multi-spectral imaging technique was employed, which made it possible to observe temporal changes of the bilirubin content in skin photo-types II and III. The obtained results confirm the clinical potential of this technique for skin bilirubin diagnostics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
