A Correlation Study between Two Adjacent Same-Meridian Acupoints after Laser-Needle Acupuncture with Optical Coherence Tomography and Diffuse Reflectance Spectra

Figure 10

Backscattered light intensities of LI4 nonacupoint, LI5 acupoint, and LI5 nonacupoint versus backscattered light intensities of the LI4 acupoint after the LI4 acupoint was irradiated, respectively. The top row shows that LI4 acupoint was irradiated for 15 minutes; the bottom row shows that LI4 acupoint was irradiated for 45 minutes: (a) , (b) , (c) , (d) , (e) , and (f) .
