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

Figure 12

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