title: 6-Plate element for recording of cutaneous blood flow.
abstract: A 6-plate element for isocaloric recording of cutaneous blood flow is described. Co-heating, penetrating depth and influence of a larger vessel simulated in a model were examined. The 6-plate element is less influenced by inhomogenous and anisotropic blood flow than the conventional 2-plate element and thus particularly suitable for routine measurements and repeated applications.
