title: [Optic method of searching for acupuncture points and channels].
abstract: A procedure is proposed to search for acupuncture points and channels (APC) by space-sensitive recording of optical radiation diffusely reflected by surface (dermal and hypodermal) tissues of the body. For this purpose, the body surface is probed by low-intensity infrared radiation from a laser or noncoherent (light-emitting diodes) source by using a fiber-optic multichannel sensor. It is shown that it is most advisable to apply sources at wavelengths of 840-850 and 1260-1300 nm.
