Isothermal-area analysis related to TTDN.

Initial stateAfter DNAfter observation

If isothermal-area decreases below —the confirmation of AuRP (vasoconstriction)
Low isothermal-area (1.5°C above )

High isothermal-area (1.5°C below )
If isothermal-area increases above —the confirmation of AuRP (vasodilatation)
