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

Table 3

Decrease of RIs of the LI4, LI3 acupoints and their nonacupoints after the LI4 acupoint was irradiated for 15 and 45 minutes at 2 minutes, respectively.
